Napoli is moving well in advance on the international market and, according to the Argentine press, has finalized the arrival of one of Boca Juniors' most promising young talents: Milton Pereyra, a 2008-born forward considered among the most interesting prospects in the xeneize youth academy.

Napoli, a move for the future from Argentina: “Milton Pereyra from Boca signed”

The deal is reportedly down to the final details, and the transfer of the South American talent to Campania is described as imminent.

Confirmation from Argentina: Pereyra expected in Naples at the end of December

The website “Planeta Boca Juniors” reports that the young striker should arrive in Italy by the end of December, immediately joining the youth sector of SSC Napoli. The Napoli management is said to have decided to get ahead of the international competition, securing the player’s registration before his possible debut with Boca’s first team, as he is considered by scouts to be one of the future attacking assets of the Buenos Aires club.

Napoli’s strategy is therefore focused on a developmental investment: a young, high-quality prospect to be placed in a structured technical pathway aimed at future growth in European professional football.

Technical profile: who is Milton Pereyra

Pereyra is a modern forward, 176 centimeters tall, right-footed, capable of alternating between finishing and playmaking. Since January 2025, he has been a regular with Boca’s U20 team, where he has stood out for his scoring ability, intelligent movement, and willingness to link up offensively with teammates.

In Italy, he will find a tactically formative environment, useful for completing his development from a strategic, physical, and mental standpoint. In this sense, Napoli represents an ideal ground for consolidating talent during adolescence.

The interrupted dream and the choice to grow in Europe

Despite the imminent transfer, Pereyra as a child expressed a deep bond with Boca Juniors. At just 13 years old, in an interview with “Boca Late,” he stated: “My goal is to be able to make a living from football and reach the top division with this team. An even bigger, though more distant, goal would be to play in a World Cup with Argentina.”

The paths, however, now seem destined to part: the young striker will now embark on a journey far from home, aware that testing himself in European football could accelerate his development. The opportunity to train at a structured club like Napoli represents a decisive step for him.
