Luis Advíncula terminated his contract and is leaving Boca: is he returning to Peru?

The cycle of Luís Advíncula at Boca has come to an end. In the last few hours, the Peruvian right back agreed with the board on the termination of his contract (valid until December 2026), he will leave the club as a free agent, and everything seems to indicate that he will continue his career in his country's football, with Alianza Lima as an almost confirmed destination.

The decision was agreed upon by both parties and replied to a combination of sporting and personal factors. At 35 years of age, Advíncula had been evaluating for some time the possibility of returning to Peru, and the scenario was finally defined in the middle of preseason. This time, the financial issue stopped being the main obstacle and, combined with a significant personal reason, accelerated a departure that took place earlier than expected.

From a football standpoint, the last stretch of the "Rayo"'s cycle was far from his best version. After having been a key piece in 2023, especially in the campaign that took the team to the Copa Libertadores final, his performance declined and in 2025 he lost prominence. At the end of the season, he ended up relegated in the coaching staff's consideration and became a substitute.

With his departure, the outlook at right back is being reshaped. Juan Barinaga is emerging as the starter and Lucas Blondel, who could have gone out on loan, will remain in the squad to compete for the position, while further back appears Dylan Gorosito, a young player who stands out in the Under-20 National Team.

Advíncula's spell at Boca

The Peruvian arrived at Xeneize in mid-2021 from Rayo Vallecano. Since then, he has played 169 matches, in which he scored 6 goals and provided 13 assists. In terms of titles, the right back was crowned on 4 occasions: Copa Argentina 19-20, the Supercopa Argentina 21/22, Liga Profesional 2022, and Copa de la Liga 21/22.
