Rodolfo Arruabarrena asks Boca for a new winger, targets Tiago Palacios | OneFootball

Rodolfo Arruabarrena has launched his new Boca tenure by requesting a winger to strengthen his squad. The board are working to meet the new head coach’s plans. Despite renewed efforts for Sebastián Villa, he wants another wide option.

The window has begun with Leandro Lozano’s arrival, and Arruabarrena is monitoring further deals. He has identified Tiago Palacios to inject directness and freshness. According to LaNumer12.com.ar, Estudiantes would seek around 8 million dollars.

Palacios, 25, is contracted to Estudiantes de La Plata until 31 December 2027, which makes any exit complicated. Boca have already held informal talks with the player’s camp.

The winger offers natural width and can also operate as an attacking midfielder or second striker, qualities seen as useful in the final third.

Boca’s push is framed by uncertainty over Exequiel Zeballos. The academy product has yet to agree an extension, with his deal expiring at the end of the year.

El Changuito must renew his contract or he could be left out for the second half of the year. The board want to avoid a repeat of previous cases, and the player does not wish to depart without leaving a fee. His future remains uncertain.
