Boca Juniors has lost one of its star strikers, Edinson Cavani, who has terminated his contract and is searching for a new club. The 39-year-old Uruguayan had signed with the team until the end of the year, but has decided to leave to seek new opportunities.
What happened?
Cavani had been one of the top stars for Boca Juniors, but his performance had declined in recent months. His last goal with the team was on November 17, 2025, against Tigre.
Why is it important for Boca Juniors?
Cavani's departure is a blow to the team, which is currently in first place in the Liga Profesional Argentina with 29 points, 8 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses in 16 games. The goal difference is +16, with 28 goals scored and 12 conceded.

What comes next?
Boca Juniors will need to find a replacement for Cavani, who had been a key player in the team's attack. The team has a 4-point lead over Union Santa Fe, but the competition in the league is strong and any mistake could cost them the lead.
Boca Juniors' last win was on December 7, 2025, when they defeated Racing Club 0-1. However, the team has lost its last two games, which has generated concern among fans.
