Records
Aranda's record so far is about trust rather than trophies. Boca Juniors gave a 17-year-old the number 10, a shirt with more cultural weight in Argentina than almost any other, and he repaid it with a season of goals and assists well ahead of his age curve. Then Lionel Messi, of all people, put his name on a 2026 list of football's next 10 superstars, an endorsement no award committee can match for reach. Add a senior Argentina call-up at 19 and serious interest from Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea, and the accolades are less a cabinet and more a set of doors opening at once. The injury interrupted the momentum, not the trajectory.
