UEFA Europa League
Cristian Medina will be the new addition to Fenerbahçe, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The talented midfielder from Boca Juniors will make the leap to European football in January 2025, after both clubs sealed a deal securing his transfer for a sum close to 15 million dollars. Medina will sign a contract with the Turkish club until 2030, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his career.
The agreement was reached after intense negotiations in which Boca Juniors secured a significant profit of 20% in case of a future sale of the player. Additionally, Xeneize will receive 10 million euros initially, with another 5 million euros in bonuses for achieving objectives. The leadership of the club from La Ribera, which initially considered the offer insufficient, finally accepted to close the deal after ensuring Medina's stay with the team until the end of the semester.

Medina's transfer adds to Equi Fernández's recent move to Saudi Arabian football, meaning Boca will lose two key pieces in their midfield for 2025. This forces the Argentine club to seek quality reinforcements to maintain their competitiveness in the upcoming season.
Medina's decision to move to Europe was a decisive factor in the negotiations. The midfielder, who has been a prominent figure at Boca since his debut in 2021, wanted to progress in his career, leading the Football Council to accept his departure, as long as it was finalized in January. In his over 150 appearances wearing Boca's jersey, Medina has proven to be a pivotal player, contributing with goals, assists, and winning five significant titles.
