Ayrton Costa Transfer from Antwerp to Boca Juniors
Ayrton Costa is set to travel to Argentina to join Boca Juniors, where he will undergo routine medical examinations upon his arrival at the Aeropuerto de Ezeiza. Boca Juniors has agreed to pay 3.5 million euros to Royal Antwerp for his full transfer. It was reported that Costa has already said goodbye to his Royal Antwerp teammates. Initially, Boca Juniors' offer of 2.3 million euros for 90% of the player's rights was turned down, but their subsequent offer of 3.5 million euros was accepted. Costa is expected to sign a three-year contract with Boca Juniors, contingent upon the successful completion of his medical examinations.

Reports indicate that all parties are working towards completing the transfer, as Costa has reportedly expressed his desire to leave Antwerp after only six months.
Boca Juniors has reached an agreement with Royal Antwerp to purchase Ayrton Costa. The player is expected to travel to Argentina on Tuesday for medical tests and then can sign a three-year contract.

Antwerp is set to receive approximately 3.3 million euros for Costa, who was bought six months ago for 2.3 million euros.
Boca Juniors will purchase the full transfer rights of Ayrton Costa from Royal Antwerp for $3.5 million. Independiente, Costa's former club, will receive $195,500 from this transfer due to a 10% plusvalia clause on a previous sale of $2.5 million and a 3.5% solidarity mechanism. Costa joined Independiente at 16, debuted professionally four years later, and was loaned to Platense before moving to Europe six months ago.

Despite initial agreements being close, the transfer was canceled after Boca's coach Fernando Gago intervened, stating he did not want the player.
