The 3 goalkeepers Boca have on their shortlist this window | OneFootball

Boca’s goalkeeping situation is one of the main issues in the current transfer window, and the club’s board is already considering top-level international options. With the need to add a high-profile goalkeeper, three major names are emerging strongly in Ezeiza: Gerónimo Rulli, Juan Musso, and Álvaro Montero, who make up the main shortlist of candidates to guard the posts.

The search for a new guardian of the Xeneize goal has become the board’s top priority. In recent hours, the blue-and-gold club stepped up its efforts and presented a formal contract offer to Gerónimo Rulli’s representative. The goalkeeper is the club’s top desire to bring leadership, security, and proven experience between the posts at La Bombonera.

If the player accepts the proposed figures, the club from La Ribera already has the financial offer prepared to send directly to Olympique de Marseille. Although Rulli, 34, who is under contract until mid-2027, had planned to give a final answer after the World Cup, Boca’s officials are working around the clock to persuade him and get the deal done much sooner. The board knows that signing a player of his caliber requires bold and swift management.

However, the files being handled behind the scenes are not limited to just one European option. Juan Musso, currently with Atlético de Madrid, is another high-profile target being closely followed by the club. The 32-year-old goalkeeper is under contract with the Spanish side until June 30, 2028, which would make for a complex contractual negotiation, but he remains firmly on Boca’s radar.

The more realistic option for Boca’s goal

Beyond the big bets in Europe, the radar is also focused on the local scene with the imposing figure of Álvaro Montero. The 31-year-old Colombian goalkeeper from Vélez Sarsfield is emerging as the more realistic option.

His current deal with the Liniers club is a loan until December, but there is a purchase option to acquire his full rights. Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s Vélez side will exercise the purchase option set by Millonarios when he was loaned out, so they can then negotiate with Boca.

One key detail that makes any move for the Colombian goalkeeper easier is that Boca has more than enough room in its foreign-player quota to complete his signing. This gives the club’s board a strong regulatory advantage to operate without the pressure of having to free up international spots in the current squad, which has already been trimmed with the departures of Edinson Cavani, Ander Herrera, and the dual citizenship obtained by Adam Bareiro.
