Boca Juniors Strengthens Its Attack

Boca Juniors remains active in the transfer market and, after securing the signings of Ángel Romero and Santiago Ascacibar, is aiming to add more attacking options ahead of the upcoming competition. The club is analyzing options to sign a winger and a center forward, with the name of Darío “Chimy” Ávila once again on the table, in a context marked by the need to boost the frontline and raise the competitive level of the professional squad. After closing two significant signings, at La Ribera they understand that the team still needs greater offensive depth. The board is evaluating various alternatives, both locally and internationally, with the premise of not making hasty signings and prioritizing players who can perform immediately. The transfer market still offers room for Boca to keep moving, and at the club they know that the reinforcements that arrive will need to quickly adapt to the demands and pressure that comes with wearing the blue and gold jersey. With Romero and Ascacibar already confirmed, Boca shows it is not backing out of the market and is going for more, determined to strengthen its attack and arrive fortified for the challenges ahead. In recent matches, Boca has had difficulties breaking down solid defenses and creating clear chances from the wings, an aspect that the coaching staff considers key to taking a qualitative leap. The forward, with experience in European football and a past in the Argentine national team, was already on the club's radar in previous transfer windows and is valued for his intensity, competitive character, and ability to press high. The arrival of Ángel Romero brings international experience, imbalance, and goals, while Ascacibar reinforces the midfield with mobility, character, and physical presence. However, internally they believe there is still a lack of speed on the wings and a forward who can compete for the '9' position and offer tactical alternatives. The search for a winger responds to the intention to add individual flair, one-on-one ability, and width in attack. In that context, the name of Chimy Ávila regains strength. For this reason, the targeted profile is that of a fast player, with the ability to dribble and a good final pass, who can adapt to both a system with wingers wide open and a more flexible one. In parallel, the board is also working on the signing of a center forward.
