Huracán confirm Blondel signing, could make debut against River | OneFootball

The right-back joins Diego Martínez's ranks at Globo and could debut against the Millonario. Details.

After many ups and downs, Lucas Blondel left Boca and became a new reinforcement for Huracán. The right-back joins Diego Martínez's ranks after not having played an official minute so far in the 2026 season.

The deal was closed on loan, linking the full-back with Globo until December 31 of this year. “This weekend he will join training with his new teammates at La Quemita,” announced the institution from Parque Patricios.

The Quemero team was allowed to incorporate due to Natanael Samaniego's transfer to the 12 de Junio club in Paraguay. That is why they took advantage of the regulatory advantage to add hierarchy in one of the areas to reinforce in their defense.

Will Blondel debut against River?

Lucas Blondel will train with his new teammates starting this Saturday and will have five consecutive days of practice to try to earn a spot for the next match, which will be none other than against River. The match is scheduled for this Thursday, March 12.

It is worth noting that the last official match of the former Tigre player was on May 19, 2025, in Boca's 1-0 loss to Independiente in the 2025 Apertura Tournament. Miguel Ángel Russo did not use his services during his tenure, and Claudio Ubeda maintained the same stance.

Why Boca freed up a spot

Article 13.2.5 states that if a player is transferred to another local club member and meets certain conditions —including having signed the roster in at least 25% of the matches since the 2025 Clausura—, the selling institution can replace him within the established deadlines.

Thus, despite Blondel not having played minutes in the 2025 Clausura or the start of the 2026 Apertura, he meets this administrative requirement. That is why the Xeneize took advantage of this benefit, giving them an extra chance in the market.

Blondel's numbers at Boca

Lucas Blondel has accumulated 4 goals over 31 official commitments defending Boca's jersey since his arrival back in July 2023.
