Overview

• Boca Juniors confirmed a mutual contract rescission with Sergio Romero and publicly thanked the 38-year-old goalkeeper for his stint at the club.
• Romero agreed a short-term deal through December with Argentinos Juniors to cover for Diego “Ruso” Rodríguez, who sustained a right ACL rupture and faces about eight months out.
• Argentinos obtained AFA approval to register Romero, enabling him to play in the Copa Argentina, with club officials also indicating he can feature in the Clausura under the 70% participation exception.
• Argentinos targeted Romero for his penalty-stopping record as the team approaches a Copa Argentina semifinal against Belgrano, a competition that awards the champion a berth in continental play.
• Romero has not played since November 23, 2024 and acknowledged a post–Superclásico altercation with a fan as a turning point in his Boca tenure, while the rescission reduces a high-salary commitment for Boca.
