Boca’s transfer plan: who’s for sale, who’s untouchable | OneFootball

After deciding not to renew the contracts of Frank Fabria and Cristian Lema, nor the loan of Ignacio Miramón (all three will leave on December 31), Boca's management, led by Juan Román Riquelme, has established its stance regarding sales in this transfer market. They have determined which players they are willing to negotiate for, at what price, and who are non-transferable.

Leandro Paredes, the team's standard-bearer and captain, is the only non-transferable player for Boca's management. They believe the sports project should revolve around the world champion with the Argentine National Team, who quickly adapted to his teammates and was one of the team's standout figures in the last semester.

The rest of the players are transferable; obviously with some aspects to consider: Boca will only sit down to negotiate if the price offered for any of its players is convincing, taking into account their age, market value, cost, and role within the team.

Milton Giménez, for example, was acquired for four million dollars in the winter of 2024. Today, with Racing's interest, Boca will only negotiate if the club offers a similar amount.

Youth players who emerged from the academy and have a prominent role in the first team, such as Exequiel Zeballos, Lautaro Di Lollo, or Milton Delgado, will only leave if another institution pays their release clause. These range between 15 and 20 million dollars.

They might be a bit more flexible with players not considered by Claudio Úbeda. Lucas Blondel (who interests Racing and Argentinos), Luis Advíncula, Lucas Janson, and Agustín Martegani are some examples.

In these cases, Boca might let them go for less than what they paid, considering they are not part of Sifón's and his coaching staff's plans, and some of them have quite high salaries.

On the other hand, several players are due to return from their loans on January 1st and, initially, are dispensable for the coach. Some may be loaned out again, but others, like Marcelo Weigandt, Bruno Valdez, Jabes Saralegui, or Renzo Giampaoli, could leave the club permanently through a transfer.

So far, there have been no concrete offers for any player in the squad, although inquiries have been made about several of them. It is worth noting that, except for exceptional cases, this management's modus operandi has been to first arrange arrivals and then, at the end of the market, facilitate the departure of several players. It remains to be seen if they will approach this market in the same way or decide to change their strategy.
