Overview

• On July 10, Boca Juniors and AS Roma agreed a transfer fee just under €3.5 million and Paredes signed a three-year contract before being unveiled at La Bombonera.
• The move was finalized through direct talks rather than activating the debated release clause that Roma claimed had expired on June 30.
• With Paredes offloaded, Roma secures the fee and will save more than €3 million in annual wages.
• Paredes returned to Rome on July 8 to close out personal and club formalities, including emptying his locker at Trigoria, before flying to Buenos Aires.
• Boca Juniors technical director Juan Román Riquelme and Roma sporting director Francesco Massara oversaw the agreement that concludes six months of stalled talks.
