According to Argentine media outlet Olé, Uruguayan striker Cavani has terminated his contract with Boca Juniors.

Cavani signed the termination agreement on Wednesday, officially ending his contract with Boca. During his three years at the club, he experienced more disappointments than highlights. Injuries became his "curse," preventing him from playing for nearly the entire last year. Thus, the 39-year-old Uruguayan striker closed a chapter of his career that began with high expectations but gradually faded away.

Since arriving in mid-2023, the striker scored 28 goals in 81 matches. 2024 was his best year in the blue and gold, with 20 goals in 39 appearances. Before and after that period, his performances fell well short of expectations. At the season's start, his contribution in the Copa Libertadores was minimal, with his only notable moment a goal against Palmeiras in the semifinals; by season's end, he couldn't establish himself in the starting lineup due to a back problem.

In 2026, he played only two matches in February—against Platense and Racing Club, respectively. Even after receiving two lumbar nerve block treatments, he failed to recover.

Cavani had initially hoped to remain at Boca, seeking a more dignified exit after his recovery. However, with Vasco Arruabarrena's arrival, the situation accelerated as the club no longer accepted players unable to contribute. As a result, Edi joined the exit list alongside Ander Herrera, Jansson, Maltegani, Barinaga, Weigandt, Orsini, Ramírez, Saracchi, Mauricio Benítez, and Ariel Moras.

This departure doesn't signal the end of Cavani's career. He still hopes to recover physically and continue his football journey elsewhere. Danubio, the Uruguayan club where he began his career, has already opened its doors to him.
