Overview
- Boca and the player agreed to an early termination in mid‑June 2026 after recent surgery and other treatments failed to restore Cavani's fitness.
- The club says the decision responds to persistent chronic lumbar problems that left Cavani available for only two appearances this year.
- Boca framed the cut as a financial and roster move to lower high wage commitments and free space for new signings and younger players.
- Cavani leaves with 28 goals and four assists in 81 appearances since joining in July 2023 but without winning a club title.
- The move is part of a wider roster reset under sporting leadership and the new coach, and it clears an overseas slot while Cavani considers options to keep playing.
