It’s official: Marcos Rojo is no longer a Boca player | OneFootball

After several weeks of uncertainty, the news of the termination of Marcos Rojo's contract with Boca was announced yesterday. Through social media, the club from La Ribera made official the departure of the defender who had a contract with the institution until December of this year.

One of the situations that the management wanted to resolve was that of Marcos Rojo. The defender was training separately from the team and was not going to be taken into account by Miguel Ángel Russo. With the relationship somewhat strained, the termination of his contract and payment until the last day worked were sought.

Although, initially, the footballer and his representative decided to reject the proposal, hours later, they accepted to terminate their contract with Boca. In this way, in the early hours of Friday, he presented himself at the Ezeiza premises, bid farewell to his teammates, and made his departure official.

“Club Atlético Boca Juniors informs that player Marcos Rojo signed the termination of his contract that linked him to the Institution”, began the brief statement on the institution's social media. In the same line, they made a small reference to his career at Xeneize: “During his time at Boca, Marcos played more than 100 games with our jersey and won 4 titles”.

Finally, the club from La Ribera wished the best for the future of the one who wore the captain's armband of the blue and gold team: “We thank Marcos for his professionalism and commitment to the Club and wish him many successes in his future challenges”.

Marcos Rojo's future after leaving Boca

As soon as the end of Rojo's era at Xeneize was announced, several media outlets confirmed his almost instantaneous arrival at Racing. It was rumored that Gustavo Costas had called the former Manchester United player to add him to his squad, although it had been denied. However, everything seems to indicate that he will be a reinforcement for the Academy and a direct rival of Boca.

According to information from media outlets supporting Racing, Rojo's arrival caused a rift in the relationship between Costas' technical staff and the team's management from Avellaneda.
