Boca Juniors stalls Montero signing and eyes winger Luka Romero

Boca Juniors has not completed the transfer of Colombian goalkeeper Álvaro Montero from Vélez Sarsfield. Reported disagreements over a fee near US$4 million and the player’s participation with Colombia at the World Cup have delayed a formal announcement.

At the same time, Boca’s football council, led by Juan Román Riquelme, is targeting Mexican winger Luka Romero of Cruz Azul. Sources say the club sees Romero’s speed and two‑wing capability as a priority, but no formal offer has been made yet. The search for additional width on the flanks is part of Boca’s strategy to boost competitiveness in upcoming tournaments.
