Overview
- Cavani formally signed an early rescission with Boca in late June and announced his departure in a farewell video that was published publicly this week.
- Club sources and multiple reports say chronic lumbar problems, described as a disc hernia treated with surgery and nerve blocks, were decisive because they curtailed his ability to train and play.
- Over three seasons at Boca he made 81 appearances and scored 28 goals but did not win any official titles, and his minutes fell sharply after 2025 because of the back issues.
- Boca’s board and new coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena concluded the striker was not in the project, a decision that the club used to reduce salary commitments and to bring in forwards such as Adam Bareiro.
- Cavani said he intends to keep rehabilitating and remain available to play, with Danubio in Uruguay reported as a possible destination though no move has been confirmed.
