Murat Yakin, coach of Switzerland, made a trip to Argentina and had a meeting with Lucas Blondel, a 28-year-old right-back who could be called up to the Swiss team.

A Boca Juniors player received a special visit at the club's sports city and his future could be linked to the Swiss national team. This is about Lucas Blondel, who was visited by Murat Yakin for an interview to get to know each other better and, if all goes well, work together in the future.

As reported by the Swiss press, Murat Yakin traveled to Argentina after watching the last Manchester City match in the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 to get to know the sports facilities of the Argentine Football Association (AFA) and have a face-to-face conversation with Lucas Blondel.

Blondel, a 28-year-old right-back, has Swiss citizenship through his father, Jean-Yves Blondel, who was born in Rechy, Canton of Valais, and was a professional tennis player (he was among the top 600 in the world in both singles and doubles in the ATP ranking of 1987).

"He's a very nice guy. He represents the Argentine mentality. This can be good for our group", Murat Yakin commented about the former Tigre and Atlético Rafaela player, as published by the newspaper Blick. He is expected to be called up in the next FIFA Date in March.

After visiting the AFA sports city, Yakin took the opportunity to watch Boca's victory over Huracán at La Bombonera. Blondel was not available for this match due to a muscle overload.

Lucas Blondel suffered a rupture of the cruciate ligaments in his right knee last year and was out of official matches for nine months, but he is now at the disposal of Fernando Gago. So far, in his stint at Boca Juniors, he has played 21 matches and scored three goals.
