Huracán confirm Blondel signing, could make debut against River | OneFootball

The right back joins Diego Martínez’s squad at El Globo and could make his debut against El Millonario. Details.

After much back and forth, Lucas Blondel left Boca and became the newest signing for Huracán. The right back joins Diego Martínez’s squad after not having played a single official minute so far in the 2026 season.

The deal was closed as a loan, linking the fullback to El Globo until December 31 of this year. “This weekend he will join training with his new teammates at La Quemita,” announced the club from Parque Patricios.

The Quemero team was allowed to sign a new player due to the transfer of Natanael Samaniego to Club 12 de Junio of Paraguay. That’s why they took advantage of the regulatory opportunity to add quality to one of the areas they needed to strengthen in their defense.

Will Blondel debut against River?

Lucas Blondel will start training with his new teammates this Saturday and will have five consecutive days of practice to try to earn a spot for the next match, which will be none other than against River. The match is scheduled for this Thursday, March 12.

It’s worth noting that the last official match for the former Tigre player was on May 19, 2025, in Boca’s 1-0 loss to Independiente in the 2025 Apertura Tournament. Miguel Ángel Russo did not use his services during his tenure, and Claudio Ubeda maintained the same stance.

Why Boca freed up a roster spot

Article 13.2.5 states that if a player is transferred to another club within the local league and meets certain conditions — among them, having appeared on the team sheet in at least 25% of the matches since the 2025 Clausura — the selling club can replace him within the established deadlines.

In this way, even though Blondel did not play any minutes in the 2025 Clausura nor at the start of the 2026 Apertura, he meets this administrative requirement. That’s why Xeneize benefited from this rule, giving them an extra move in the market.

Blondel’s numbers at Boca

Lucas Blondel has scored 4 goals in 31 official appearances wearing the Boca jersey since his arrival back in July 2023.
