Boca Juniors’ victory over River Plate in the Super Clasico has sparked new expectations in the transfer market. Daniel Paredes, Leandro Paredes’ father, said: in a dialogue with zeny’s chain Paulo Dybala has decided to play for Boca. Relatives of the midfielder have assured that the Roma striker wants to join the Rivera team.
According to Daniel Paredes, “Paulo has a Boca heart and wants to come to Boca.”. The father of Argentina’s world champion midfielder said he had heard that Hoya himself would have communicated his decision to others. “I heard a conversation and Paul said he was coming.”. Additionally, he reinforced the idea of a new sports partnership with his son: “Paulo is coming, we’re going to play together.”.
“The girl is going to be a Boca fan and she’s going to see her father play for Boca at the Bombonera.”he emphasized. It is worth remembering that the man from Cordoba is pregnant with a daughter with his partner, singer and actress Oriana Sabatini.
The statement quickly went viral and was published after goals from Exequiel Zeballos and Miguel Melentiel secured a 2-0 victory over River, clinching Claudio Ubeda’s side a ticket to the group stage of Copa Libertadores 2026.
The possibility of seeing current attacker and AS Roma international Paulo Dybala in Argentine football has been a recurring topic among Boca Juniors fans, especially since the return of Leandro Paredes in the middle of this year. The two footballers have maintained a strong personal and professional relationship, beginning when they shared a locker room with Roma and the Argentina national team, all the way to winning the 2021 Copa America and 2022 World Cup.
Dybala himself has publicly admitted that he sympathized with Boca Juniors as a child, but his partner has made it clear that he identifies with River Plate. In the current European football season, La Jolla has only played nine official matches against Roma. The forward missed seven Serie A games and international competitions due to various muscle injuries, a situation that has sparked debate in Italy about the possibility of renewing his contract, which ends in mid-2026. During his time there, Dybala contributed two goals (against Viktoria Plze and Sassuolo) and an assist against Parma.
Since his professional debut at the Instituto de Córdoba, followed by a European career with Palermo and Juventus before arriving in Rome, Paulo Dybala has never had the chance to play officially in Argentina’s first division (Gloria was in National B).
Boca Juniors will add another great name to their squad if the player from Laguna Larga joins. In addition to Leandro Paredes, the presence of Agustín Marchesin, Spaniard Ander Herrera and Uruguayan Edinson Cavani will be prominent.
With this victory over Millonario, Ksenidze regained the lead in Zone A with 26 units, two more than their nearest rival, Union de Santa Fe. In addition to guaranteeing their ticket to the Copa Libertadores, Claudio Ubeda’s side also know that they will play their first playoff game at home. Before that, they will culminate their participation in the group stage by hosting Tigre at La Bombonera.
