Matías Galarza to Boca Juniors
This move fell through. Last report: German Garcia Grova, 16 September 2026.
This deal is dead. Boca Juniors have pulled out of negotiations for Talleres Córdoba midfielder Matías Galarza, 24, after a week of talks that briefly looked close to a resolution. Germán García Grova reported on 16 September that Talleres had demanded €4m for 60 per cent of the player, with Boca then obliged to negotiate separately with Belgian club Genk over the remaining 40 per cent. Faced with that complexity, and with the deadline expiring, Boca walked away. An earlier layer of friction, reported by Leandro Aguilera on 14 September, involved a dispute over a debt Talleres owe Boca relating to the Pavón transfer and disagreement over the dollar exchange rate used to value it. Three separate outlets confirmed Talleres had rejected Boca's €4m bid before the collapse became official. The story was carried consistently by Germán García Grova and Cesar Luis Merlo. Merlo noted on 14 September that the only remaining route to a Galarza exit at that point was a release clause. García Grova corroborated the withdrawal on 16 September. The sourcing is credible and consistent across multiple reports. The chance of this transfer happening now is a very long shot indeed. Boca have confirmed their exit from talks, Talleres rejected every approach during the window, and the ownership split with Genk created a structural problem neither side bridged. Galarza, who is contracted until December 2028, appears set to stay in Córdoba. For context, Boca's domestic signings have generally sat around the €5m mark: Newell's sold to Boca for €5m in 2024, and Colo-Colo did the same in 2025. The €4
