The 36-year-old goalkeeper arrives from Gremio in Brazil to compete with Sergio Romero, who underwent surgery and will be inactive for a few months... Will there be more signings for Xeneize?

On the eve of their debut in the 2025 Copa Argentina, Boca Juniors finalizes more reinforcements for a demanding season, including their participation in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup to be held in the United States from June 14 to July 13.

Agustín Marchesín, a 36-year-old goalkeeper from Lanús, who has played for Santos Laguna, América de México, FC Porto, and Celta de Vigo, has arrived in Buenos Aires and joins Xeneize from Gremio in Brazil.

Boca will pay USD 1.8 million for the transfer of the goalkeeper, who was a champion with Argentina in the 2021 Copa America under Lionel Scaloni's command.

"It's a childhood dream. I'm very happy to join a club like Boca, it's a great opportunity. I've been talking to (Fernando) Gago and Román (Riquelme)," Marchesín said after undergoing medical tests before signing his contract.

The coaching staff led by Fernando Gago is very pleased with the new faces at Boca Juniors after adding Carlos Palacios, Ayrton Costa, Ander Herrera, Rodrigo Battaglia, Alan Velasco, and Williams Alarcón.

According to the Argentine press, the only player Boca Juniors is still waiting for in the remaining transfer window is Leandro Paredes, a world champion with Argentina in Qatar 2022 and currently at AS Roma, who has not yet clarified when he could return to Xeneize.

Boca will officially kick off the 2025 Argentine Apertura Tournament next Sunday, January 26, against Argentinos Juniors at La Bombonera.
