Boca move in the transfer market, open talks for Felipe Loyola | OneFootball

The first half of the year has not yet come to an end and the squad’s absolute priority is focused on the crucial clash against Universidad Católica, but Boca’s board has already started planning what comes next. In this context, an old target has once again taken center stage on the Xeneize radar: Felipe Loyola. The club has already made the call and begun initial contacts to try to complete his signing.

The information was revealed by journalist Diego Monroig on ESPN, who explained that Boca has fully entered the transfer market and is moving decisively for the versatile Chilean. According to the reporter, there have already been communications, inquiries, and official approaches, reviving the strong interest the club from La Ribera had shown when the player was still representing Independiente de Avellaneda.

Boca began talks for Felipe Loyola.

The rumor of his arrival is already echoing very strongly through the halls of the Ezeiza training ground. Within the leadership, they understand that although a large part of the transfer market activity will depend on what happens in the crucial match against Católica and qualification for the round of 16, signing a right-back is an urgent need regardless of that result. At the moment, that flank is a vulnerable area for the team, forcing them to improvise players in a position that urgently needs quality.

Loyola’s versatility is hugely appealing behind the scenes. Although his natural position is central midfielder, his performances at right-back are more than proven. The 25-year-old midfielder currently plays for Pisa in Italy, where he is going through a difficult spell. The Italian side was relegated to Serie B and the player has lost significant ground, making just ten official appearances this year.

The Xeneize’s formal intention has already been communicated to the agency representing him. Now, the completion of the deal will depend exclusively on the player’s wishes: he must decide whether he wants to leave Europe in search of more playing time and accept the challenge of returning to Argentina.

Is Boca also going after Villa?

According to the aforementioned journalist, the Xeneize board will make the call to try to bring back Colombian Sebastián Villa. It is worth remembering that the club has a lawsuit for breach of contract because the player considered himself a free agent and left the club.

Rumors about Sebastián Villa won’t stop.

Although on the pitch he is showing a level that leads several people to call for his return, most fans would not agree with a comeback because of the way he left and his criminal conviction for gender-based violence.
