Superclásico rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate have bolstered their squads with the signing of two World Cup players. Boca secured the services of Ecuador's veteran striker Enner Valencia, while River Plate brought in young Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada. Valencia, 36 years old, joins from Mexican club Pachuca, having previously played for Emelec in his homeland and West Ham in England.
His career highlights include being the all-time leading goalscorer for Ecuador's national team. On the other hand, Thiago Almada, just 25, arrives from Spain's Atlético Madrid, having struggled to make an impact during his season with the club. As a part of Brazil's 2022 World Cup-winning squad, Almada is known for his dribbling skills, creativity, and determination.
River Plate paid over 20 million euros for the midfielder, making him the most expensive signing in Argentine football history.
