Boca Juniors does not stop its activity in this transfer market and, while it defines who will be the next coach, the management led by Juan Román Riquelme is advancing in the search for a top-tier goalkeeper to strengthen the squad for the second half of the year and the 2026 World Cup.
Among the names that are being mentioned, two players who have been performing well at their clubs stand out: Álvaro Montero and Sergio Rochet.
The Colombian, currently at Vélez, and the Uruguayan from Inter de Porto Alegre are the focus of attention for the xeneizes directors.
Montero received strong public support from Mauricio "Chicho" Serna, who highlighted him as a great goalkeeper and favorably compared him to historical references.
The current situation of Álvaro Montero
The current situation of Álvaro MonteroDuring his time at Fortín, the goalkeeper played 17 matches, conceded only 13 goals, and achieved seven clean sheets. Those numbers led to his call-up to the Colombian national team for the World Cup.
In Liniers, they have not yet exercised the purchase option that is around one million dollars, and time is running out because the deadline to pay Millonarios is about to expire. This situation generates expectations in Boca, which has already made inquiries, although there is still no formal offer.
For his part, Rochet also shows solid form in Brazil. So far in 2026, he has played 17 matches, conceded 19 goals, and kept five clean sheets, establishing himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers on the continent.
