According to TYC, Lanús is interested in acquiring Mateo Mendía, a 21-year-old Argentinian central defender from Boca. Lanús is pursuing the central defender and has proposed a one-year loan that includes a purchase option. Mendía is the captain of Boca's Reserve team, and there is significant market interest in him. The club has already rejected two offers from Peñarol, and another offer may come from Platense. Despite the interest, Boca's coaching staff, which is led by Claudio Ubeda, is considering keeping the player for squad depth unless another defender is signed for the position. Mendía joined Boca in January 2025 and has a contract until December 2029. His current market value is €100k, according to Transfermarkt.
