Does Miguel Merentiel want to leave Boca? his camp responds | OneFootball

After the defeat against Racing and elimination from the 2025 Clausura Tournament, rumors began to surface at Boca. The list of players who will leave the club is long, and it included an unexpected name: Miguel Merentiel.

In recent hours, strong rumors have emerged that Miguel Merentiel intends to leave the club in the upcoming transfer window ahead of next season. However, his inner circle denied this information, which had been spreading on social media.

When this outlet consulted sources close to the Uruguayan player, the response was clear: the Beast is focused on Boca and wants to play in the next Copa Libertadores. The Uruguayan is one of the team’s captains, with Leandro Paredes as the leader, followed by Edinson Cavani and Agustín Marchesín.

Merentiel is Boca’s top scorer this year with 15 goals.

While it is true that he might listen to offers if any arrive, as long as they are beneficial for both him and the club, the Uruguayan is not thinking about leaving as has been suggested in recent hours, and even less so about having asked the Xeneize board for a transfer.

Until when is Miguel Merentiel under contract with Boca?

The 29-year-old Uruguayan has a contract with Xeneize until December 2027. In addition, he has a high release clause, one of the highest in the squad. The amount that would need to be paid to force his departure from the team from La Ribera is 18 million dollars.

The Uruguayan is under contract until 2027.

When does the transfer window open?

The Argentine Football Association has determined that the transfer window will open on January 14 so that clubs can strengthen and sell ahead of the upcoming season. There will be time until March 10, the deadline to do so while the championship is underway.
