Universidad de Chile and Boca Juniors assess key player contract moves

Universidad de Chile confirmed that Argentine defender Franco Calderón remains under contract until December 2027, contrary to earlier rumors suggesting his deal would end in 2026. The club may consider selling him, but the extended contract gives them leverage in any future transfer negotiations.

Boca Juniors reported that Colombian forward Sebastián Villa has expressed openness to a return to the club. Discussions are ongoing over a potential transfer from Independiente Rivadavia, which is reportedly demanding around $10 million. Boca is exploring options such as including lower‑profile players in the deal to reduce the cash outlay.
