Boca Juniors is reportedly considering several Argentine forwards to strengthen their attack for the 2026 season, as rumors surrounding Miguel Ángel Borja have cooled. While there have been no official contacts with the mentioned players, the potential signing of the Colombian striker was initially stronger, whereas the deal for the Córdoba-born player from Instituto remains just a dream for now. According to Argentine News Agency, the 'Xeneize' is considering the possibility of signing other attackers currently playing in the country, preparing for next year's triple competition (Professional League, Copa Libertadores, and Copa Argentina). One candidate is Ignacio Russo, son of head coach Miguel Ángel Russo and a forward for Tigre, who has scored 11 goals in 39 matches and could be a good replacement for the low performance of Milton Giménez and the frequent injuries of Edinson Cavani. The other option that club president Juan Román Riquelme and coach Claudio Úbeda would consider to bolster the attack is Alexis Cuello, a San Lorenzo player with a strong performance in recent years. For now, all of this is speculation, and it will be necessary to wait to see which new faces will arrive at the La Ribera squad, but what is certain is that the blue and gold environment is convinced of the need to sign a new center-forward.
