Brian Aguirre losing ground at Boca, linked with a move to Uruguay | OneFootball

The two most powerful clubs in Uruguay picked up the phone for the 22-year-old winger, who lost ground in the Ribera team at the end of the year.

Boca's transfer market is starting to take shape, both in terms of reinforcements and departures. In this regard, two historic Uruguayan football clubs have set their sights on a name that is not currently a priority at Boca: Nacional and Peñarol made inquiries to Xeneize about Brian Aguirre, who has been relegated in the coaching staff's plans at the close of 2025.

Both the tricolor and the aurinegro are considering bringing him in for the next season and have already made informal calls, though without any formal offer yet. The lack of recent playing time fuels the expectation that those at La Ribera might agree to negotiate his departure, either on loan or through a transfer, but the reality is that it’s unlikely either club can pay the winger’s price.

It’s worth remembering that Boca invested $4.6 million to buy his transfer from Newell’s, a significant figure for the current management, which is why they are not considering letting him go for less, even though he hasn’t managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter and Marino Hinestroza will arrive as a reinforcement in the same position.

The numbers explain part of the situation. Since his arrival in 2024, he has played 37 official matches, totaling 1,840 minutes, with four goals and four assists. Although he had a period of consistent presence in the starting eleven, his participation dropped significantly at the end of the year.

The loss of playing time was no accident. The rise of Exequiel Zeballos changed the offensive landscape, pushing him down in Claudio Úbeda’s considerations, who opted for other options in decisive matches. To make matters worse, the situation is becoming even more complicated for Aguirre with the imminent arrival of Hinestroza, a winger from the Colombian national team. For now, it was just a phone call.
