Boca Juniors added Luis Advíncula to its squad this Saturday, hoping that the Peruvian can have
his litmus test
in the Superclásico against River for the Argentine Cup.
"Welcome, Luis"
, the club celebrated on its official Twitter account.
The experienced right-back marker, 31, a
stronghold of the team led by Ricardo Gareca
, was one of the reinforcements that the coach, Miguel Ángel Russo, most wanted.
Welcome Luis!

The 'Rayo' Advíncula
will be available to Russo as long as the transfer
to be sent by Rayo Vallecano, the Spanish club from which Boca bought the pass for 2.5 million euros,
arrives earlier
.
Advíncula also traveled this Saturday to the city of Córdoba to join the squad before Sunday's meeting with Talleres for the fourth date of the Professional Football League.
You will surely not see action.
Also nicknamed 'Bolt' for his speed
, the winger played three times in the Copa América for Peru, with a runner-up achieved in the Brazil-2019 version.
The leading scorer began his career with the shirts of Juan Aurich and Sporting Cristal in his country.
In his rich career, he also passed through Hoffenheim from Germany, Ponte Preta from Brazil, Vitória Setúbal from Portugal, Bursaspor from Turkey and Newell's from Argentina, in addition to the Mexican Tigres and Lobos.

Heading to Córdoba
At the domestic level, after the disappointment caused by the elimination in the Copa Libertadores, Boca debuted in Santa Fe with an alternative team and tied with Unión (1-1).
Then, when he returned from Belo Horizonte, his professional team was ordered into isolation and had to play with the youth against Banfield (0-0) and San Lorenzo (0-2).
For now he only has two points out of nine possible.
Among those inconveniences was added another intern, the decision of Colombian striker Sebastián Villa, one of the team's figures, to leave training to pressure with a transfer to Bruges of Belgium after Boca abandoned the proposal because he considered the 7 million euros insufficient. dollars offered by the European club.
So
Boca will go out to play in Córdoba with the best available but without Villa, and with the probable presence of Juan Edgardo Ramírez
, his penultimate acquisition.
Russo will maintain the base he used against Mineiro, with the income of Alan Varela for Esteban Rolón and the promising Aaron Molinas in Villa's place, although with different characteristics since the 20-year-old youth is a generator of the game and not a forward net like the Colombian.
In defense it is very likely that Marcos Rojo will be preserved for Wednesday's Superclásico and in his place the Peruvian Carlos Zambrano would enter.
Up front there is another doubt between the youthful Luis Vázquez and Cristian Pavón from Córdoba, who seems to be spending his last days at the club - he would be transferred to Europe - while Norberto Briasco is confirmed.
Boca will try to get its first win in Córdoba against a rival that historically tends to complicate it and immediately attend the clash with River for the round of 16 of the Argentine Cup, at the Ciudad de La Plata stadium.
