Lucas Blondel is one of the many players who have been left without a place at Boca since the arrival of Miguel Ángel Russo. With Claudio Úbeda currently in charge, the right-back has also not been reconsidered, leading him to consider leaving in the next transfer window.
Although the former Tigre player was enjoying a good period with Fernando Gago, which even earned him a call-up to the Swiss national team, he started to lose significant ground. The arrival of Juan Barinaga and losing the competition with Luis Advíncula for the position left him completely sidelined, and this did not go unnoticed by Racing.
With Facundo Mura's departure in December as his contract ends and the imminent sale of Gastón Martinera abroad, the Academia has set its sights on Lucas Blondel. Although no official contacts have emerged, he is part of the list of potential reinforcements that Sebastián Saja and Diego Milito have for the Avellaneda team. Also on that list is the name of Tomás Guidara from Huracán.

Blondel played several matches in the reserves due to his lack of opportunities in the first team.
At one point, Boca executed the U$S 1,850,000 release clause he had with Tigre. With not much activity, Racing considers that for a similar or lower amount, Juan Román Riquelme would be willing to negotiate. It should be noted that Lucas Blondel has a contract until the end of 2027 with the club from La Ribera.
The right-back is one of the players who have had the least activity since the arrival of the current coaching staff. He was never used by Russo or Úbeda, only making it to the bench once.

Blondel in the reserves.
Due to his lack of participation with the first team, Blondel requested to move down to the reserves and play a few matches there. This was accepted by Sifón, who assigned him to the team led by Mariano Herrón.
The last time he officially played with Boca's first team jersey was on May 19 of this year. It was in the 1-0 defeat against Independiente at La Bombonera, which resulted in the team's elimination in the quarter-finals of the Torneo Apertura.
