Carlos Palacios Says Future at Boca Is Uncertain After Returning to Training

Boca’s firm stance on a permanent sale to recoup about $5 million raises the prospect that the Chilean could be moved back to Colo‑Colo.

Overview

  • On Tuesday Palacios publicly said he does not know what will happen with his place at Boca and did not rule out a return to Colo‑Colo.
  • Palacios missed competitive action in 2026 after right‑knee synovitis and surgery but has resumed training with the Boca squad while still awaiting clearance to play.
  • Boca’s poor semester, capped by an early Copa Libertadores exit and the end of Claudio Úbeda’s coaching stint, has increased pressure to overhaul the squad.
  • The player signed for about $5 million in early 2025 and is contracted to Boca until December 2029, and Ámbito reports the club would only accept a permanent sale rather than a loan.
  • Some outlets report past episodes of indiscipline and unauthorized trips to Chile, but those claims have limited sourcing and have not been widely corroborated.
