Boca Juniors' management doesn't rule out selling the midfielder, who is currently on loan at Platense, which retains 10% of his transfer rights and the training rights
Although Boca isn't planning any more signings in this transfer window, the list of departures remains open. In this regard, in recent hours Panathinaikos of Greece has submitted a formal offer of 4.5 million dollars for 80% of Vicente Taborda, who is currently on loan at Platense, although his registration belongs to Xeneize.
The management led by Juan Román Riquelme views the departure of the midfielder from Entre Ríos favorably. In fact, they've already started talks with Calamar's executives to speed up the operation. The good institutional relationship between both clubs is a key factor in reaching an agreement.
The offer also includes performance-based bonuses, which could increase the final amount of the transfer. However, Platense's position remains to be seen, the current champion of Argentine football, which enjoys Taborda as one of its most prominent players.

Meanwhile, in light of the Greek club's proposal, the Ribera club believes the time has come to sell him outright. The final decision will depend on the resolution with Platense and on how the transfer is structured with the European side.
His time at Platense and Boca
The 24-year-old midfielder was essential in the team that won the 2025 Torneo Apertura, the club's first ever title. In that tournament, he played 19 matches and scored 5 goals, one of them historic against River at the Monumental in the quarterfinals. A muscle injury sidelined him from the first matches of the Clausura and, despite returning in the clásico against Argentinos Juniors, he hasn't yet regained his starting spot under Kily González.

At Boca, however, Taborda was never able to establish himself. Since his debut on July 25, 2021, against Banfield, he has only played 17 matches in blue and gold and hasn't scored any goals. He was loaned to Platense for the first time in 2022, returned in 2023, but once again left on loan. In this window, the possibility of recalling him was considered, although Miguel Ángel Russo didn't request him.
