Four ex-San Lorenzo stars at Boca could haunt their old club | OneFootball

This Wednesday, a new edition of the classic will be played at La Bombonera between two of the biggest teams in Argentine football, featuring several players who once played for El Ciclón and now play for Xeneize.

Recently, several footballers with a past at San Lorenzo have moved to Boca, whether directly or after a stint at another club. Four of them are still wearing blue and gold and could enforce the inevitable Law of the Ex this Wednesday at La Bombonera, when Xeneizes and Cuervos face off from 19:45.

The former Ciclón player who has been with the Ribera side the longest is Agustín Martegani. The midfielder arrived at Boca in July 2024 for almost 2.5 million euros. Since then, he has only played thirteen matches and has not had minutes with the team for over a year, rarely even making the bench. This transfer window, he was close to leaving, with Newell’s and Libertad as the main interested parties, but no deal was reached.

In the lead-up to the Club World Cup, at the express request of Miguel Ángel Russo, the club presided over by Juan Román Riquelme strengthened the squad with Malcolm Braida, who arrived for a fee close to 1.6 million euros directly from the azulgrana. The left-back has only played nine matches since his arrival, and incredibly, two of them were at the world tournament. This year, he played just one match, against Gimnasia de Chivilcoy in Salta for the Copa Argentina.

In the most recent transfer window, two new former San Lorenzo players arrived at Brandsen 805. The first was Ángel Romero, who arrived on a free transfer from Corinthians three years after his brother Óscar’s stint. Since his arrival, the Paraguayan has played five matches, without directly contributing to any goals.

With better statistics in front of goal and of the same nationality is Adam Bareiro, the latest to add his name to this list. The former Fortaleza player was very closely linked to El Ciclón, even getting a tattoo of a raven in reference to the club. Just a couple of weeks ago, the striker joined Boca and has played three matches, scoring two goals.
