Arruabarrena gets the right-back he wanted: Boca sign Leandro Lozano | OneFootball

Leandro Lozano’s arrival is a done deal and Boca secures a key piece for its defense. The board reached a full agreement with Argentinos Juniors, so the Uruguayan will sign his contract in the coming hours and quickly join the preseason led by Rodolfo Arruabarrena, who specifically asked for the player.

The transfer market is moving for the Xeneize, and the first signing has arrived. The club’s leadership sped up negotiations and definitively finalized the purchase of the Uruguayan defender’s registration rights. In this way, the club from La Ribera fulfills the main structural demand set by the newly appointed coaching staff.

The deal with the La Paternal club will be completed for a fee totaling 3.5 million dollars for the entirety of his rights. This major financial investment reflects the urgent need to shore up a right flank that had been left exposed after the recent squad clear-out. Boca thus acquires a full-back with proven dynamism, strong recovery, and aggressiveness in defense.

Coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena had been consistently insisting on a player with experience and tactical know-how to operate down that flank. The Uruguayan’s profile fit perfectly into the rigorous footballing assessment drawn up by El Vasco ahead of the new semester. Now, the blue-and-gold institution is moving forward with the exchange of the relevant documents to make the transfer official and put him in Boca colors.

The contract Leandro Lozano will sign with Boca

The agreement sealed between the board and Leandro Lozano’s representatives establishes a contract for the next three and a half years. This lengthy deal guarantees a medium-term project, giving the player a framework of stability as he begins adapting to the ever-demanding Boca world. All that remains is for the full-back to successfully pass the routine medical examination before posing with his new jersey.

His imminent arrival brings relief to an area of the field that, for the time being, only had youngster Dylan Gorosito available. It should be remembered that El Vasco informed the other two right-backs in the squad, Juan Barinaga and Marcelo Weigandt, that they will not be part of his plans. With Lozano’s arrival, El Vasco will have his ideal player in that position, while knowing that a young prospect is right behind him looking to earn the spot.
