Overview

• Boca confirmed Romero signed his contract rescission, and the goalkeeper said farewell before moving to Argentinos on a short-term deal through the end of the year.
• The transfer was accelerated after Diego “Ruso” Rodríguez suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, with surgery expected and an estimated recovery of about eight months.
• Reporting diverges on competition eligibility, with some outlets saying AFA cleared Romero for both the Clausura and the Copa Argentina, while others say he can only play in the cup under the 70% participation rule.
• Argentinos face Belgrano in the Copa Argentina semifinals, a tournament that awards the winner a direct Copa Libertadores berth.
• Romero has not played since November 23, 2024, and Argentinos targeted him for his penalty record at Boca, where he saved 14 of 32 spot kicks.
