Title-winning defender with Platense leaves Boca, already has a new club | OneFootball

Oscar Salomón, a 26-year-old central defender, returned to Boca Juniors after two seasons on loan at Platense, with whom he was crowned champion of the 2025 Apertura Tournament. However, the center-back will not be considered by Claudio Úbeda and will be transferred to Newell’s Old Boys, who will acquire 50% of his rights.

Trained in Boca’s youth divisions, Salomón had already been loaned out to Tigre, Montevideo City Torque, and Central Córdoba, but he never officially debuted in the First Division for Xeneize. During his time at Platense, he played 46 matches, scoring one goal and providing one assist.

With this signing, Newell’s adds its ninth reinforcement for the 2026 season, following the arrivals of Gabriel Arias, Matías Cóccaro, Michael Hoyos, Bruno Cabrera, Franco García, Nicolás Goitea, Walter Núñez, and Gabriel Risso Patrón, while preparing for the debut of Sergio Gómez and Favio Orsi as the new coaching duo.

Salomón will travel to Rosario as soon as the final details of his contract are settled, and he is expected to be a key piece in the Rojinegro’s defense.
