Boca Juniors has arrived in Salta, gearing up for their debut in the Copa Argentina, and the announcement of Claudio Úbeda’s lineup has created quite a buzz among fans, particularly with the inclusion of Dylan Gorosito. While some attention was directed toward the return of Ander Herrera and the presence of Adam Bareiro, it was Gorosito’s name that resonated most on social media, indicating strong support from Boca enthusiasts.
Gorosito’s selection comes primarily due to the injury of Juan Barinaga, although Lucas Blondel could have been an alternative choice; however, he may soon be transferred if Huracán manages to free up a roster spot. The official club announcement has gained traction online, showcasing images of the young player set to make his debut and celebrating his recent milestone of turning 20 years old.
Fans view Gorosito as a vital part of the much-needed generational shift in the team, especially given his impressive performances with the Under-20 National Team and his offensive contributions during matches in the club’s reserve team under Mariano Herrón.
Dylan Gorosito is no ordinary player; his story is well-known at the Ezeiza training complex. For years, he would wake up at 4:30 AM in Moreno, taking three buses and a train to reach his training sessions. His perseverance paid off in mid-2024 when he debuted in a 2-2 match against Defensa y Justicia, marking his first and only match in the top league thus far, after which he balanced his time between the reserve and his age group.
Following a standout performance at the Under-20 World Cup in 2025, where he scored a stunning goal against Italy, the right-back is poised for another opportunity. Úbeda recognizes the potential in Gorosito, regarding him as a modern defender with significant promise and an ability to deliver those thrilling crosses that fans appreciate.
With the anticipation surrounding Gorosito’s debut, Boca Juniors appears to be nurturing a promising talent while embracing a new era in their roster, providing hope and excitement to their loyal supporters.
