Title-winning Platense defender leaves Xeneize for 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 won the 2025 Apertura Tournament. However, the defender will not be considered by Claudio Úbeda and will be transferred to Newell’s Old Boys, who will acquire 50% of his transfer rights.

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

With this addition, Newell’s secures 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, as they prepare for the debut of Sergio Gómez and Favio Orsi as the coaching duo.

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