Deportivo Madryn Confirms Boca Duo ‘Signings’ Were a Día de los Inocentes Prank

The Ascenso club leaned into Día de los Inocentes, turning transfer chatter into a viral prank.

Overview

  • In the early hours of December 28, the club posted images of Guillermo “Pol” Fernández and Ramón “Wanchope” Ábila with teasing captions that hinted at arrivals.
  • Hours later, Deportivo Madryn clarified on social media that the supposed announcements were a joke, punctuating the reveal with a tongue-in-cheek message about “missing two curves.”
  • The posts quickly stirred excitement and speculation across fans and social platforms, although many flagged the prank-friendly date.
  • There are no announced deals for Ábila or Fernández to join Madryn, and neither the club nor the players issued transfer confirmations tied to the posts.
  • Context from local reporting notes Madryn’s strong 2025 campaign ended short of promotion, fueling interest in reinforcements while Ábila had been linked to Instituto and Racing de Nueva Italia.
