🚨First signing in: Ángel Romero joins Boca as a new addition | OneFootball

The wait is over at La Ribera. After weeks of negotiations and several losses in the offensive front, Boca Juniors has officially announced that Ángel Romero will be the first signing of the 2026 cycle. The Paraguayan forward is scheduled for his medical examination this Tuesday, after which he will sign the contract that will link him to the blue and gold institution.

The arrival of Romero represents a strategic relief for the Football Council led by Juan Román Riquelme, especially after the failed negotiations for Alexis Cuello and Kevin Serna. The "Melli," who arrives as a free agent, will bring the necessary hierarchy and imbalance for Claudio Úbeda's scheme ahead of the imminent debut in the Torneo Apertura.

The return of Paraguayan talent to Argentina

At 33 years old, Ángel Romero returns to Argentine football after his stints with San Lorenzo and Brazilian football. His incorporation not only responds to a tactical need on the wings but also to the search for an ideal partner for Edinson Cavani in the attack. It is expected that, barring any issues in the medical exams, the player will join the practices on Wednesday to be at the disposal of the coaching staff.
