💣The Boca ace U de Chile are after | OneFootball

Fernando Gago’s present at the helm of Universidad de Chile has been going strong since his arrival in March 2026. With an eye on the mid-year transfer market, “Pintita” is already planning the restructuring of his attack and has set his sights on an old acquaintance from Argentine football: Boca Juniors winger Lucas Janson.

No place in Úbeda’s system

According to the Chilean outlet La Magia Azul, Janson has become the Argentine coach’s top priority to strengthen Universidad de Chile’s attack. The forward is not part of the plans of Claudio Úbeda’s current coaching staff at the club from La Ribera, where he has been completely left out of the rotation and has not played any official minutes since late February.

A way out for the forward

At the start of the season, teams such as Tigre and Independiente sounded out the former Vélez player, but no formal offer ever materialized. Given this situation, Universidad de Chile’s proposal appears as a golden opportunity for the attacker to regain the continuity he has lost and lead Gago’s sporting project in Santiago.
