Enner Valencia signs for Boca Juniors

Entities: Juan Román Riquelme · Pachuca · Enner Valencia · Adam Bareiro · Boca Juniors

Overview

After ending his contract with Pachuca in early July 2026, 36‑year‑old Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia remained a free agent. Boca Juniors entered advanced talks in early August and on 3 August announced an 18‑month contract with an option for a further year, running to at least December 2027. Valencia travelled to Buenos Aires on 7 August, arrived on Friday, and underwent a routine medical on 8 August; the club confirmed the examinations were satisfactory and the deal was completed, making him the fourth reinforcement of Boca’s 2026 summer window. President Juan Román Riquelme and coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena highlighted his experience – the all‑time top scorer for Ecuador and a three‑time World Cup participant – as a response to scoring deficiencies after forward Adam Bareiro’s lumbar injury. The signing also freed a foreign‑player slot and adds depth to a forward line that already includes Leandro Lozano, Sebastián Villa and Álvaro Montero. On 5 August the club reiterated Valencia’s arrival and disclosed that captain Leandro Paredes has received a concrete offer from AC Milan, with negotiations ongoing.
