Brian Aguirre losing ground at Boca, linked with a move to Uruguay | OneFootball

The two most powerful clubs in Uruguay picked up the phone for the 22-year-old winger, who lost ground in the Ribera team at the end of the year.

Boca's transfer market is starting to take shape both in terms of new signings and departures. In this regard, two historic Uruguayan football clubs have set their sights on a name that is not a priority for Boca today: Nacional and Peñarol have inquired with the Xeneize about Brian Aguirre, who was left out of the coaching staff's plans at the end of 2025.

Both the tricolor and the aurinegro teams are considering adding him for the next season and have already made informal calls without any formal proposal. The lack of recent playing time fuels the expectation that La Ribera might agree to negotiate a departure, whether on loan or through a transfer, but the reality is that it's unlikely either club can afford the winger's price.

It is worth remembering that Boca invested 4.6 million dollars to buy his transfer from Newell’s, a significant amount under the current management, so they are not considering letting him go for less despite his failure to establish himself as an undisputed starter and with Marino Hinestroza arriving as reinforcement in the same position.

The numbers explain part of the scenario. Since his arrival in 2024, he has played 37 official matches, with 1,840 minutes, four goals, and four assists. Although he had a period with sustained presence in the starting eleven, his participation significantly decreased at the end of the year.

The loss of space was not coincidental. The rise of Exequiel Zeballos changed the offensive landscape, relegating him in Claudio Úbeda's consideration, who opted for other options in decisive matches. To make matters worse, the situation becomes more complicated for Aguirre with the imminent arrival of Hinestroza, a winger from the Colombian National Team. For now, it was just a call.
