Boca officially unveiled their first signing: Leandro Lozano | OneFootball

The transfer market is definitely heating up for Boca with the official confirmation of Leandro Lozano as its brand-new first signing. The Uruguayan full-back signed his contract through December 31, 2030, thus fulfilling the coaching staff’s top request to take over the right flank.

After several days of intense negotiations, the board managed to seal the deal and welcomed the defender from Argentinos Juniors. The transfer was completed for a fee of 3.5 million dollars in exchange for 100% of his rights. This major financial investment reflects the blue-and-gold institution’s decision to strengthen an area that had been left completely exposed.

The arrival of the right-back directly answers a demand from Rodolfo Arruabarrena, who wanted a player with great range and tactical know-how. The coach carefully analyzed his characteristics and determined that the Uruguayan player’s profile was ideal for his system. In this way, Boca signs a full-back who combines proven dynamism, aggression in marking, and solid defensive recovery.

This arrival gives new life to a defensive line that underwent a major clear-out at the start of preseason. The coaching staff had already informed Marcelo Weigandt and Juan Barinaga that they would not be part of the plans for the new cycle. Given that firm decision, the position had been left solely in the hands of youngster Dylan Gorosito, who will now have competition.
