Know everything about Facundo Roncaglia's return to Boca Juniors after a long 10 years.

After being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, and with Gastón Ávila leaving the team and probably Izquierdoz following in his footsteps, Boca Juniors found themselves in the need to reinforce their defense and they have signed Facundo Roncaglia, who plays as a center-back or right-back.

The defender returns to Boca after 10 years and has showcased his football in several European teams, including Fiorentina, Celta de Vigo, and Valencia. It is because of that same experience that the 35-year-old footballer could compete for the position with Luis Advíncula and Carlos Zambrano, but especially with the latter.

Furthermore, Roncaglia arrives as a free agent after being in Aris Limassol from Cyprus, the 'Xeneize' defender signed a contract for a total of 18 months, until the end of 2023.

Similarly, the club still needs to make it official through their social media channels, but Argentine media report that the player has already passed the medical exams and it's just a matter of time before they announce it publicly.

Facundo Roncaglia made his debut for the blue and yellow team in 2007 and thanks to his good level, he became a regular in the first team. He then had a stint at Espanyol and Estudiantes de La Plata before returning to Boca and reaching the final of the Copa Libertadores. Undoubtedly, he will be a key piece that Hugo Ibarra must use wisely.

When does Boca Juniors play?

Boca Juniors will play against Argentinos Juniors on Tuesday, July 19th, for the ninth matchday of the Argentine Professional League. The match will take place at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, starting at 19:30 in Peru and 21:30 in Argentina.
