The Argentine football transfer market has come to a close, and Boca Juniors has decided not to use the extra spot it had available. Despite having the opportunity to sign a fourth new player following the departure of Lucas Blondel. The news did not go unnoticed by the team's leader and captain, Leandro Paredes. The central midfielder used his social media to echo the situation: he reposted a publication from the party-aligned outlet 'Planeta Boca,' which reported that the team led by Claudio Úbedano would not sign any more players. The captain's gesture was interpreted by fans as a show of support for the current squad, although it also sparked debate over whether the roster is large enough to handle the Copa Libertadores, the local tournament, and the Copa Argentina. Boca signed Santiago Ascacibar, Ángel Romero, and Adam Bareiro from Estudiantes (LP), Corinthians, and Fortaleza respectively to compete in the triple competition they will face in the first half of 2026.
