According to César Luis Merlo, Boca Juniors is in advanced negotiations to acquire the transfer rights for Lucas Passerini, a 32-year-old Argentine-Chilean forward. Talks with Belgrano are ongoing. The club is pursuing this deal due to complexities in signing other targets, Romero and Gondou, and there is optimism that the transaction can be finalized. Passerini joined Belgrano in August 2023 and has a contract until the end of 2028. His current market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt. In the 2025/2026 season, he has provided 6 assists in 15 domestic league appearances.
