According to César Luis Merlo, the sale of Brian Barboza to Toluca was officially signed last night. The operation was for $4M, and Brian Barboza will remain at Peñarol until December.

According to journalist César Luis Merlo, Toluca have reached a verbal agreement with Peñarol for right-back Brian Barboza. The deal would be valued at four million dollars for 80 percent of Barboza’s economic rights. The player's arrival is contemplated for the beginning of 2027, so he would remain at Peñarol for now. Both clubs are reportedly finalizing the necessary details to complete the transfer. One of the points still being negotiated is the percentage Peñarol will retain in a future sale, which could provide the Uruguayan club with an additional benefit if the footballer is later transferred to another team.

Toluca has reached an agreement to acquire 18-year-old Uruguayan right-back Brian Barboza from Peñarol in a deal valued at approximately $4 million. The Uruguayan club will retain the player until the end of the year and will also receive a percentage from a future sale. Barboza, who joined Peñarol in May 2026, has a contract with the club until the end of 2029. He has made nine domestic league appearances in the 2025/2026 season and is yet to be capped by the Uruguayan national team. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €125k.
