Boca Juniors goalkeeper change 2026

Entities: Oscar Córdoba · Luis Arruabarrena · Alvaro Montero · Boca Juniors · O'Higgins

Overview

Following Agustín Marchesín’s right‑knee ligament rupture, Boca Juniors confirmed Colombian keeper Álvaro Montero as the new first‑choice goalkeeper on 18 July 2026. The club announced the $4 million signing would start in upcoming league fixtures, the Copa Argentina and the Copa Sudamericana round‑of‑16 tie.

A week later, on 26 July 2026, Montero made his competitive debut in the Copa Sudamericana, keeping a clean sheet in a 1‑0 victory over O Higgins and delivering a decisive close‑range save. Coach Luis Arruabarrena then named him starter for the following league match, replacing Leandro Brey. Former Boca legend Óscar Córdoba praised his experience and potential to become a key player for the team.

The two snapshots trace Montero’s rapid transition from newly‑appointed starter to match‑day performer, underpinning Boca Juniors’ goalkeeper reshuffle for the remainder of the season.
