Days before the start of the official competition, Boca added an unexpected reinforcement. Claudio Úbeda decided that Marcelo Weigandt should join the work with the rest of the group, leaving behind the separate training sessions from the squad.

The first reinforcement was already at the club: Chelo Weigandt had been training separately with a group of players who returned from their respective loans and were not going to be considered by the coach.

Weigandt joined the training with the group.

This changed drastically in the last few hours, and the coaching staff decided that the right-back should join the practices with the team preparing for the match against Deportivo Riestra. The players started training this Tuesday with the debut in the Torneo Apertura in mind, following a 2-1 victory over Olimpia in the last preseason friendly.

Thus, Marcelo Weigandt has already joined the Xeneize group, and Claudio Úbeda adds his first reinforcement for this season after Marino Hinestroza's refusal. The Colombian winger, along with Atlético Nacional, decided to prioritize Vasco da Gama's offer and will not join the Xeneize.

The Xeneize has not yet been able to finalize the arrival of any reinforcements in this transfer market. With Marino Hinestroza's arrival falling through, now San Lorenzo does not want to sell Alexis Cuello, and the offer made for him seems to be going nowhere.

For now, there have only been updates regarding departures. In the last few hours, it was mutually agreed with Bruno Valdez to terminate the central defender's contract, and like Luis Advíncula, he will leave the institution using the same exit route.
