Chilean midfielder Williams Alarcón is about to receive Argentine citizenship, a process expected to be completed between the end of January and February. With this step, the club will free up a foreign player slot in its professional squad, allowing greater flexibility for future signings.

Xeneize is rebuilding the squad.
In Argentine football, teams can have up to six foreign players in their squads, although only five can be on the match sheet for each official game. That’s why Alarcón obtaining citizenship represents an opportunity to bring in new players. Xeneize used an additional slot for the arrival of Marino Hinestroza, who will join the team in the coming days.
Currently, these are the foreign players Boca has in the squad:
It should be noted that Miguel Merentiel (Uruguay) does not count as a foreigner because he has Argentine citizenship.

After agreeing to bring in Marino Hinestroza, Marcelo Delgado is now focused on closing deals for Alexis Cuello and Gastón Hernández. He already knows that to take the forward from San Lorenzo, he will have to pay 3 million net dollars to acquire the 60% owned by the Boedo club. Remember, the remaining 40% belongs to Almagro.

Gastón Hernández and Alexis Cuello from San Lorenzo.
As for the central defender, El Ciclón is seeking a sum close to 4 million. The amount is similar to what they asked Olympiakos for in 2024 to sell his rights, but that transfer ultimately fell through. Xeneize already tried to sign him in the previous transfer window at the request of the late Miguel Ángel Russo, but San Lorenzo did not want to sell. Now the situation is different. Due to the institutional crisis San Lorenzo is going through, negotiations stalled. Now, as things are being regularized under the transitional presidency of Sergio Costantino, the Ribera club hopes to move forward.
