During his 81 appearances for Boca Juniors, Cavani scored 28 goals and provided three assists. He also received twelve yellow cards and one red card, but did not secure any titles with the team. Despite these statistics, the 39-year-old forward described his experience as having "magical moments" and expressed gratitude to the fans, feeling that he and his family are part of the Boca community.

Cavani acknowledged that physical impediments were "one of the biggest sadnesses" of his career, particularly a persistent back injury in 2026 that significantly limited his participation. This injury prevented him from competing for a starting position under the new coach. He summarized his nearly three years with the club as a time he will "remember forever," adding, "The journey is the reward and it was beautiful."

His departure, along with several other players, is part of a squad overhaul for Boca Juniors as they prepare for the Copa Sudamericana, the Torneo Clausura, and the Copa Argentina in the second half of the year. Cavani, who previously wore the club's iconic number 10 jersey, is leaving as the team seeks to improve its performance.
