Edinson Cavani Rescinds Boca Juniors Contract

The decision follows a lingering lumbar injury and reports that coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena would not include him in his plans.

Overview

  • Cavani announced on Thursday that he rescinded his Boca Juniors contract and posted a farewell message calling his time at the club a "beautiful journey."
  • Reports say the split was driven by a persistent lumbar injury and by limited playing opportunities under recent coaching changes.
  • Across nearly three years at Boca, Cavani made 81 appearances, scored 28 goals and provided four assists while completing just 27 full matches because of fitness problems.
  • Argentine outlets had reported an imminent termination before Cavani’s video and Boca had not issued a formal club statement at the time of early reports.
  • Boca is advancing talks to add an attacker, with media reporting a proposed $6 million offer for Sebastián Villa as the club moves to replace Cavani.
