Boca Juniors continues to focus on its football present, after winning against Huracán and preparing for its next match against Gimnasia in La Plata. However, the club already has its sights set on the transfer market for the second semester, with the aim of qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. And in that sense, a new name has emerged that interests the xeneize team to reinforce its right back: Lucas Blondel, Tigre player.
As reported by Nacho Bezruk for TNT Sports, the team led by Jorge Almirón has turned its attention to Blondel, considering it a viable option to strengthen its defensive line. The 26-year-old right-back recently renewed his contract with Tigre until December 2024. The former Atlético de Rafaela player has become a regular starter at Tigre and has shone under the guidance of Diego Martínez. So far this season, Blondel has played 21 matches between the local tournament and the Copa Sudamericana, scoring one goal and providing one assist.
Although the news has generated surprise, Boca’s interest in Tigre’s right-back shows the club’s intention to reinforce all the lines of its team to face future challenges. Blondel’s outstanding performance and his youth make him an attractive target for the La Ribera team.
Although details about the negotiations between the two clubs have not yet been released, it is clear that Boca Juniors is willing to invest in the signing of Lucas Blondel to strengthen its defense. In the coming weeks, progress is expected in the talks and an agreement that benefits both parties is reached.
Boca fans will be attentive to any news about this possible incorporation and hope that Lucas Blondel joins the squad to contribute his quality and youth to the team’s defense.
