Racing against time: Boca move for Alan Lescano after Lucas Blondel’s exit | OneFootball

Boca is racing against time to finalize the arrival of Alan Lescano before the transfer window closes. After confirming Lucas Blondel's departure to Huracán, the Sporting Director, Marcelo Delgado, activated the final steps for the talented midfielder from Argentinos Juniors.

The club from La Ribera has a deadline until next Tuesday, March 10, at 6:00 PM to officially register the player, taking advantage of the spot freed by the transfer of the full-back to Globo de Parque Patricios.

In recent hours, the talks between the Xeneize and the player's camp have reached full maturity. There is already a verbal agreement between Boca and Lescano for the midfielder to move to La Bombonera. For Juan Román Riquelme, this is the right time to accelerate negotiations, understanding that the Bicho's number 10 is the creative piece the team needs for the rest of the season.

The administrative engineering of this operation was definitively unlocked with Blondel's departure. The defender has already passed the medical examination with Globo, granting Boca the regulatory authorization to seek a replacement outside the conventional market closure. With this available space, the Boca management decided to focus all their efforts on the 24-year-old midfielder who emerged from the youth divisions of Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata.

The obstacle Boca faces for Lescano

However, the path to signing the contract presents a significant contractual complexity. Lescano's rights are equally shared: Argentinos and Gimnasia each own 50% of his card. This co-ownership requires the Xeneize to reach an economic agreement with both institutions, a task that has hindered the operation's progress from its early stages and requires an offer that satisfies both parties.

On Argentinos' side, the initial stance was one of resistance. The institution's president, Cristian Malaspina, publicly expressed his desire not to part with the team's captain, arguing that finding a replacement of his caliber at this time of year would be excessively costly in sporting terms. It should be noted that the Bicho has already suffered eliminations in recent competitions, making Lescano a central figure for their football reconstruction.

To unlock this scenario, Boca brought Andrés Guglielminpietro to the negotiating table. Guly, who wore the jerseys of both Boca and Gimnasia, acts as the key representative to bring the parties closer and formalize the figures desired by the La Paternal team. The goal is clear: to smooth out financial rough edges and have Alan Lescano wear the blue and gold before the clock strikes six in the evening next Tuesday.
