Boca Juniors activated the transfer market and nationalized Adam Bareiro, freeing up a foreign player spot in the squad. The 29-year-old Paraguayan forward left his foreign player spot in the Xeneize squad. The club has identified the player who could take advantage of that spot: Álvaro Montero, the Colombian goalkeeper called up to the 2026 World Cup after a strong first half of the season in Vélez Sarsfield. Bareiro's nationalization is due to his years of residence and activity in Argentine football, where he wore the jerseys of San Lorenzo, River Plate and now Boca Juniors. The procedure has no connection with a possible call-up to the Argentine national team, but rather aims to free up that regulatory spot. The striker will join the pre-season on June 18 already with his new status. While that wait is resolved, Boca also sounds strong with the name of Thiago Almada. The offensive midfielder of Atlético de Madrid is concentrated with the Argentine national team for the World Cup and, according to the journalist Flavio Azzaro, Juan Román Riquelme has already expressed his interest directly. "If Almada doesn't get a club after the World Cup, I was told that Boca let him know that they are willing to bring him", Azzaro said in AZZ Stream.
