Which Boca players are training separately and looking for a new club

At Boca’s Training Ground, there are two very different realities. On one hand, there is the professional squad, which returns to training this Tuesday after their 2-0 victory over Newell’s; on the other, there are those players who have been sidelined, not considered by Claudio Úbeda, and who train separately while waiting for a club to show interest in their services. Find out who they are.
One of the most notable names is Juan Ramírez, who spent 2025 on loan at Lanús. There, he never secured a spot as a starter, but he was important coming off the bench for a team that was crowned champion of the Copa Sudamericana and was eliminated in the round of 16 of both the Apertura and Clausura. In total, he played 27 matches wearing the Granate shirt.
The native of Moreno arrived at Boca in mid-2021, after a good spell at San Lorenzo. He started off on the right foot, with a great performance in the Superclásico against River in that year’s Copa Argentina. However, as the matches went by, his level declined until his participation became almost nonexistent under Jorge Almirón and Diego Martínez. Even so, he played 95 matches in blue and gold, scoring two goals, providing four assists, and lifting four trophies.
He has a contract with the club until the end of the year, and aside from an inquiry from Barracas Central at the beginning of this year, he hasn’t received many offers to go out on loan.
Nicolás Orsini is another player currently training apart at Boca’s Training Ground. Most recently at Platense, where he won the 2025 Apertura, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto showed interest in him, but ultimately chose Ramón Ábila instead.
Last year, wearing the Calamar shirt, he played 22 matches and scored just one goal: against Racing in the round of 16 of the tournament won by the Vicente López side. Previously, he had been on loan at Unión, where he played 48 matches and scored six goals in 2024.
He joined the La Ribera club in the winter transfer window of 2021, after playing for Lanús. He started off with opportunities, but proved not to be up to the task of wearing Boca’s number nine, and gradually lost ground in the coaches’ considerations. In 36 matches, he scored three goals and, like Ramírez, has a contract with Xeneize until December of this year.
There are also players who came up through the youth ranks but never managed to secure a place in Boca’s first team, such as Pedro Velurtas, Gastón Gerzel, or Alexander Fernández. All of them have recently played in the lower divisions and could return to the lower tiers of Argentine football if an offer comes in that convinces them.
It’s worth noting that if Xeneize sells or loans a player abroad, they will have a window to sign new players until March 10. Beyond the spot opened up by Rodrigo Battaglia’s injury, securing another slot will be crucial for Claudio Úbeda’s team, which is looking for an attacking midfielder and a center forward.
