Uruguay veteran Cavani quits Boca Juniors

SPORTS 02.07.2026

Veteran Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani has announced his departure from Boca Juniors after three years.

Text size:

The 39-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Manchester United player joined the Argentine side in July 2023 from Valencia.

"As a coach of mine once taught me, the journey is the reward. And the journey has been magnificent," Cavani said in a video posted on his Instagram account without announcing his retirement from club football.

Known as "El Matador," Cavani is Uruguay's second all-time leading scorer with 58 goals in 136 appearances before calling time on his international football career two years ago.

He leaves Boca without having won a title there and acknowledged he had "difficult moments" that prevented him from "leaving a mark" on the club.

Hampered by recurring injuries, he played 81 matches, completing the full 90 minutes in just 27 of them, while scoring 28 goals.

Cavani won six Ligue 1 titles with PSG during a seven-year spell from 2013 to 2020 before moving to Manchester United where he played for two years.
