Argentinian starlet on BVB radar, Juan Cruz Meza under watch 👀 | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund has already secured a promising talent from South America with Justin Lerma, who will move from Ecuador to Germany after his 18th birthday in the summer of 2026. However, Dortmund's scouting activities are far from over. Another South American youngster, Juan Cruz Meza, has caught BVB's attention.

As reported by "Sky" reporter Florian Plettenberg, BVB has already observed Meza live on several occasions and has evidently taken a liking to the 17-year-old Argentine. Borussia is not alone in this, as several other top European clubs, whose names have not yet been disclosed, are also reportedly interested in Meza.

Contract expires in just over a year

The attacking midfielder made the leap to the first team of River Plate Buenos Aires this summer and has been getting fairly regular playing time, although he has not yet secured a permanent spot. Nonetheless, the potential of the Argentine U17 national player has not gone unnoticed by BVB.

A decision on Meza's future could be made in the not-too-distant future, as his contract with River Plate expires in December 2026, just a little over a year from now. Whether BVB will make a concrete move to sign Meza remains open. However, the player would fit the club's strategy of signing top talents before their major breakthroughs.
