Buenos Aires, January 22 (NA) – Former midfielder and Boca Juniors champion Neri Cardozo exploded on social media over the imminent arrival of Paraguayan forward Ángel Romero to the 'xeneize' team for the 2026 season. According to the Argentine News Agency, the midfielder, who won the 2007 Copa Libertadores with the blue-and-gold squad, posted on his Instagram stories a screenshot of a sports channel discussing the possible reinforcement, accompanied by the forceful phrase: 'Now anyone can play for Boca.' The player, who played a total of 187 matches for 'La Ribera' team, scoring 26 goals, providing 27 assists, and winning 9 titles, indirectly criticized Juan Román Riquelme and the poor transfer market at Brandsen 805 so far. Boca Juniors will host Deportivo Riestra at La Bombonera next Sunday at 6:30 PM, with no new faces in the squad after the failed transfer of Marino Hinestroza (who will finally play for Vasco da Gama). Furthermore, led by Claudio Úbeda, the team will face a triple competition in 2026: Professional League, Copa Libertadores, and Copa Argentina.
