Boca Juniors announced on Saturday the signing of Adam Bareiro as their new forward. The 29-year-old Paraguayan player comes from Fortaleza in Brazil, where he scored 15 goals in his previous season. The club acquired his transfer for u$s3 million and offered him a three-year contract with the option to extend it by one more season. Bareiro has already begun training at the Ezeiza facility, and his physical condition will be assessed by the coaching staff to determine his involvement in upcoming matches, including a possible debut on Tuesday in the Copa Argentina against Racing, as noted in the report. Previously, Bareiro had a brief stint at River Plate without scoring any goals. The club shared on its social media a photo of Bareiro in the blue and gold jersey, accompanied by the message '¡Bienvenido!' and the description 'The largest popular movement in the world.' This arrival bolsters Boca's attack, which has been impacted by injuries to several forwards in the squad. With Bareiro, he becomes the 102nd player to have worn the jerseys of both River and Boca. The most recent precedent is Marcelo Saracchi, who played for River between 2018 and 2019, and for Boca between 2023 and 2025. Among the players who have passed through both clubs, Jonatan Maidana and Nicolás Bertolo stand out for having won the Conmebol Libertadores with each: Maidana in 2007 with Boca and 2015 with River, and Bertolo in 2007 with Boca and 2015 with River. Boca faces a tight schedule with matches in the Liga Profesional and the Copa Libertadores in the coming weeks.
