Goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín finally arrived at Boca at 36 years old, the club he dreamed of defending his whole life. Marchesín played a key role in the negotiation and highlighted the respect and affection received in Brazil, but made clear his determination to play in Boca in an interview with TyC Sports. He expressed that it was a personal dream and that he would not leave on bad terms with anyone, as he was always treated very well in his previous clubs.
His arrival at the Ribera team not only represents a great leap in his career but also the possibility of establishing himself in a goal that has had several names recently. With his international experience, leadership, and hierarchy, Marchesín is positioned as a key piece for Fernando Gago’s team. With the support of the fans and the confidence of the coaching staff, he will seek to leave his mark at the club of his dreams.
For Boca, the incorporation of Marchesín means adding a prestigious goalkeeper with experience in European and South American football. For Marchesín himself, it is the realization of a postponed aspiration, a final great opportunity to defend the blue and gold goal and fulfill the dream that has accompanied him throughout his career. In 2016, when Guillermo Barros Schelotto was the coach, Boca tried to sign him, but Santos Laguna refused to transfer him.
Marchesín acknowledged that his arrival at Boca is an achievement both personally and for his family, with an extensive career and past in the Argentine National Team. The goalkeeper's arrival was not easy, as Grêmio, his previous club, did not want to part with him due to his outstanding performances. In his debut against Huracán at La Bombonera, he left a great impression and spoke about the importance of this challenge, highlighting that he always had the desire and eagerness to play for Boca.
