The goalkeeping situation at Boca Juniors remains a central focus during the Torneo Clausura. Manager Vasco Arruabarrena has planned squad rotations for upcoming matches, such as the fixture against Gimnasia de Mendoza, which involves starting goalkeeper Álvaro Montero and potentially Enner Valencia.

Discussions regarding the development of young goalkeeper Leandro Brey have intensified. Former player Carlos Fernando Navarro Montoya has repeatedly suggested that Brey consider a loan move to gain regular playing time and build confidence. Montoya cited Agustín Rossi’s successful loan to Lanús as a precedent for how a temporary departure can help a player return to succeed at a high level. While management has previously resisted such moves to protect Brey as a future starter, the competition for the position remains high, particularly with the potential arrival of Agustín Marchesín in 2026.

In evaluating the club’s goalkeeping history, Navarro Montoya identified Esteban Andrada as the best goalkeeper for the club over the last decade, praising his technical completeness and vision. He also noted that Agustín Rossi, currently at Flamengo, has developed into a highly complete goalkeeper whose form may exceed that of recent Boca keepers.
