Overview

• Argentinos Juniors officially presented Romero and announced a deal through December 2025 hours after Boca confirmed his contract rescission.
• The AFA authorized his inscription outside the window, with reporting indicating a rule interpretation that counts playoffs toward the 70% threshold, enabling league and cup eligibility.
• Club messaging indicates he could debut Friday against Newell’s at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, pending fitness.
• He joins to replace Diego “Ruso” Rodríguez, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture that will sideline him for months.
• Romero leaves Boca after a year out of match action there—his last appearance was November 23, 2024—following a 2024 incident that damaged his standing despite earlier Libertadores heroics.
