Riquelme is preparing big moves: Boca Juniors wants to sign two top players.

The leadership of Boca Juniors is advancing decisively towards an ambitious project that could transform its immediate future. With the focus set on 2026, the club aims high and envisions a market full of international hierarchy.

The possible departure of several key players accelerates the search for two stellar reinforcements: Marco Verratti and Paulo Dybala, protagonists of a plan that aims to reposition the team in the South American elite.

Boca Juniors and Marco Verratti's dream

The idea of adding Marco Verratti has gained strong ground in the xeneize leadership. The Italian is going through a transitional phase and is keenly observing a change of direction after his spell in Qatar. His recent conversations with Leandro Paredes and Ander Herrera have strengthened the possibility, describing to him a competitive and revitalized project.

In Boca Juniors, the midfielder is seen as a signing capable of significantly enhancing performance in the Libertadores. Riquelme and his team believe that his technique, leadership, and European experience align with the anticipated needs for the 2026 season.

The midfielder's contract with Al Duhail, valid until June of that year, sets up an ideal scenario to progress with the operation. The leadership is confident that the sporting challenge, combined with the passionate atmosphere of La Bombonera, will be a compelling argument to seduce the European champion.

Verratti's arrival would send a powerful message. The intention to sign him is connected with the vision of reclaiming international prominence, establishing a team of prestige, and making Boca an attractive destination for renowned footballers.

The player's demands, his age, and his salary complicate the negotiation, but the club is working on flexible alternatives that include family support and sporting stability. For the executives, the Italian represents a key piece of the 2026 plan.

Paulo Dybala: hope, past, and future at stake

As talks progress for Verratti, another prominent name resurfaces. Paulo Dybala's circle acknowledges that the possibility of playing in Argentina has never been ruled out, especially now that his contract with Roma enters a new phase of evaluation. Although his deal was extended automatically until 2026, the Italian board is considering a potential change in the sports planning. The player, dealing with injuries and a significant salary, is at a crucial point in his career.

Boca Juniors is closely monitoring his situation. His arrival would have a significant competitive and media impact, something the institution deems valuable to strengthen its continental image. The forward is considering various scenarios. A possible return to his homeland would symbolize an emotional closure before the final stretch of his career, with the advantage of assuming a central role in a big team with international aspirations.

Dybala has always shown admiration for Argentine football. His inner circle acknowledges that emotional ties and the chance to lead an ambitious project could influence his decision. Boca, aware of that connection, is discreetly working to position itself as a real alternative should Roma open the door.

Boca Juniors betting on an elite renewal

The scenario is clear: the club aims to build a competitive squad with international stars and once again position itself as a strong candidate in the Libertadores. Verratti and Dybala represent two significant bets capable of reshaping the project.

Timings will be crucial, as well as the progress of negotiations in Europe. Yet, if conditions align, Boca Juniors could lead one of the most resonant movements in the South American market and construct a team designed to compete at the highest level in 2026.
