The new cycle of Rodolfo Arruabarrena in charge of Boca began with a deep cleanout of the professional squad. Following the recent and shocking departures of Edinson Cavani and Ander Herrera, a new list of four players has now been added who will have to find a new destination away from the club from La Ribera.

The tactical and strategic planning for the current season forces the Vasco to make drastic decisions regarding the makeup of the team. In the last few hours, it was confirmed that Juan Barinaga, Marcelo Weigandt, Agustín Martegani and Lucas Janson are not in the coach’s plans. The board is already working to place these professionals at other clubs, either through permanent transfers or loan deals.

The case of the right-backs, Barinaga and Weigandt, exposes the overcrowding Boca has in that area of the field. Neither managed to establish himself as the undisputed owner of the flank, alternating inconsistent performances that failed to convince. The defensive restructuring requires freeing up those spots to prioritize other player profiles ahead of the upcoming competitions.

Arruabarrena continues with the clearout.

In attack, both Martegani and Janson showed an obvious lack of continuity and impact in the club’s most recent matches. The creative midfielder was unable to live up to the expectations generated after his arrival, while the forward was pushed down the pecking order in a system that now demands more explosiveness. This clearout aims to ease the wage bill and renew the dressing room’s energy behind closed doors.

Rodolfo Arruabarrena’s blacklist

This new purge is not an isolated event, but rather part of a major overhaul that has already claimed players of enormous stature. It is worth remembering that, recently, contract terminations by mutual agreement were signed with figures of the caliber of Uruguayan striker Cavani and Spanish midfielder Herrera. Both leaders understood that their physical issues did not fit the dynamic the head coach wants to instill in the first team.

Vasco is in his second spell at the club.

On top of this, the list of castoffs is even longer and also affects other players whose cycles at Brandsen 805 have worn thin. Nicolás Orsini, Juan Ramírez and Marcelo Saracchi were also notified that they must find a new club as soon as possible.
