Arruabarrena’s decision on 3 players back at Boca | OneFootball

Rodolfo Arruabarrena continues to make strong decisions regarding the squad build-up. Marcelo Saracchi, Mauricio Benítez, and Walter Molas finished their respective loans and returned to the Ezeiza training ground, but they have already been informed that they are not in the coaching staff’s plans for this season.

Xeneize is in the middle of a deep restructuring process, and the coach does not want an oversized squad. In recent hours, the three players who once wore the blue and gold club’s shirt returned from their respective loans. However, their stay with the main group was brief, as they were immediately sent to train with the players who have been set aside.

The most notable case is that of Uruguayan full-back Saracchi, who had left in search of the minutes he was unable to establish during his first spell at la Ribera. Despite having gained playing time at his previous club, his profile was what the team sought in its signing, the only one made so far, Leandro Lozano. Meanwhile, youngsters Benítez and Molas also failed to convince the tactician during the recent evaluations.

Both the academy-produced midfielder and the young defender need regular playing time so their professional development does not stall. The board is already working together with the representatives of all three players to find them an immediate exit. Boca’s goal is to arrange new loans or, in the foreign player’s case, assess a possible permanent transfer to free up a slot.

Arruabarrena’s plan to trim the dressing room

The coach’s firm stance sends a clear message to every member of the squad: only those who are strictly necessary for the demanding schedule facing the club from la Ribera will stay. Keeping a smaller group allows for more intensive tactical work and avoids discontent among those who are usually left out of the matchday squads. In this regard, the club’s leadership fully backed the measure adopted by the coach to preserve internal harmony.

Meanwhile, Boca’s transfer market activity continues, with the focus on strengthening specific areas of the pitch. The departure of these three players will ease the wage bill and allow the club to focus its resources on the coaching staff’s real priorities.
