Valentín Barco, the most sensitive departure from Boca Juniors

Boca Juniors continues to fine-tune its squad ahead of a demanding season that will see Diego Martínez making his debut as Xeneize coach. While negotiating for the arrival of Unión de Santa Fe midfielder Kevin Zenón, the club chaired by Juan Román Riquelme maintains the extensive purge of footballers who, for the most part, were not going to have filming in the entity.

Without a doubt, the most symbolic games are those of the experienced Facundo Roncaglia and Pulpo González, who did not renew their contracts with the entity. Although the most notable thing is the sale of full-back Valentín Barco to Brighton in England, which executed its exit clause and will be formally presented in the coming days. The case of the 19-year-old player is the only one on the list that is not official at the moment, but landing in the Premier League is a fact.

In this context, Xeneize announced that two other footballers will have a new destination. “Boca and Tigre reached an agreement for 1-year loans for Gonzalo Maroni and Nahuel Genéz,” reported the Esto es Boca account, which belongs to the Xeneize entity and is responsible for providing official information about the different negotiations of the board. It must be taken into account that the 20-year-old full-back played mostly in the Reserve and will add filming in Victoria, a different case from Maroni who, at 24 years old, will be loaned again after two years on loan with the San Lorenzo shirt.

That same profile announced that forward Nazareno Solís, 29, will add another loan in his career to wear the Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza shirt after recently serving in Huracán, San Martín de San Juan, Aldosivi, OFI Crete of Greece, Alvarado and Patronato.

These two cases are paradigmatic to explain the process of purging the leadership, which is mostly letting go of youth players without a place in the first team and older footballers who also did not have many chances in recent times. Taking into account those who return their loans and leave again, the youth players who are going to add minutes to other horizons and those who will leave the entity as free players, the list of departures extends to 26 surnames.

Along these lines, we must mention the cases of Agustín Obando (he was in Tigre and went on loan to Platense), Oscar Salomón (after being in Montevideo City Torque of Uruguay, he went on loan to Platense), Valentín Fascendini (the 20-year-old defender years he went free to Unión de Sante Fe), Leonel Coira (signed free in Godoy Cruz), Elián Sosa Vivaldi (signed free in Defensa y Justicia), Pedro Velurtas (loaned to Barracas Central), Lucas Brochero (on loan to Barracas Central ), Federico Aguirre (loaned to Barracas Central), Maximiliano Zalazar (after playing in Platense, he went on loan to Barracas Central), Natán Acosta, Santiago Gauna, Bruno Cenci, Rodrigo Pittavino (all four signed free at Almirante Brown), Erik Bodencer (after his loan at San Telmo, he signed on loan in Atlanta), Gabriel Vega (on loan in Atlanta), Rodrigo Montes (loaned to Gimnasia de Jujuy), Agustín Heredia (will continue on loan at San Martín de San Juan), Gastón Gerzel (on loan for one year in Los Andes), Lucas Palma (closed free at Deportivo Maipú de Mendoza) and Iván Vaquero (signed with the pass in his possession at Deportivo Morón).

This list could add one more surname if it is taken into account that at the end of 2023 Atlético Tucumán definitively acquired 65% of Adrián Sánchez’s transfer for almost half a million dollars after having him on loan for a season. The midfielder trained in the youth team was previously on loan to Cerro Largo of Uruguay, Curicó Unidos and Everton (both from Chile).

Agustín Obando has already signed in Platense

It should be noted that the futures of midfielder Aaron Molinas, who would not be among Martínez’s priorities, and defender Renzo Giampaoli still remain to be defined. They come from playing on loan in Platense and Quilmes last season, respectively, and could be payment currency with Unión de Santa Fe in exchange for Zenón. No one is among those gathered for the first friendly of the season against Gimnasia y Tiro de Salta this Saturday.
