Mauricio Benítez transfer to Royal Antwerp

Overview

Midfielder Mauricio Benítez has completed a transfer from Boca Juniors to the Belgian club Royal Antwerp.

Initially, negotiations were complicated by a formal proposal from Royal Antwerp that fell below the $5 million purchase option previously stipulated in Benítez’s loan agreement. Following these discussions, the sale was finalized for a value of $2.5 million, with an additional $500,000 available through performance-based objectives. Boca Juniors will also retain a percentage of any future sale of the player.

Because Benítez had not registered any minutes for Boca Juniors during the current half-season due to his time in Belgium, his departure does not create a new roster vacancy for the club under Argentine Football Association regulations.
