Boca move in transfer market: talks begin for Felipe Loyola | OneFootball

The first half of the year has not yet come to an end and the squad’s absolute priority is focused on the crucial clash against Universidad Católica, but Boca’s board has already started planning what comes next. In this context, an old target has once again taken center stage on the Xeneize radar: Felipe Loyola. The club has already picked up the phone and begun initial talks to try to secure his arrival.

The information was revealed by journalist Diego Monroig on ESPN, who explained that Boca is already fully involved in the transfer market and is moving decisively for the versatile Chilean. According to the reporter, there have already been communications, inquiries, and official approaches, reviving a strong interest that the club from La Ribera had shown when the player was still wearing the colors of Independiente de Avellaneda.

Boca has started talks for Felipe Loyola.

Rumors of his arrival are already echoing very strongly through the hallways of the Ezeiza training ground. Within the board, they understand that although much of the transfer activity will depend on what happens in the crucial match against Católica and qualification for the round of 16, signing a right-back is an urgent need regardless of that result. At the moment, that flank is a vulnerable area for the team, forcing them to improvise players in a position that urgently needs quality.

Loyola’s versatility is highly appealing behind the scenes. Although his natural position is central midfield, his performances at right-back are more than proven. The 25-year-old midfielder is currently with Pisa in Italy, where he is going through a difficult spell. The Italian side was relegated to Serie B, and the player has lost considerable ground, making just ten official appearances this year.

The Xeneize’s formal intention has already been communicated to the agency representing him. Now, the deal will depend exclusively on the player’s willingness: he must decide whether he wants to leave Europe in search of playing time and accept the challenge of returning to Argentina.

Is Boca also going after Villa?

According to the aforementioned journalist, the Xeneize board will pick up the phone to try to bring back Colombian Sebastián Villa. It is worth remembering that the club has an ongoing lawsuit for breach of contract because the player considered himself a free agent and left the club.

The rumors about Sebastián Villa won’t stop.

While on the field he is showing a level that leads many to call for his return, most fans would not agree with a comeback because of the way he left and his criminal conviction for gender-based violence.
