Tigre sent a message to all its fans through social media: "Lucas Blondel will become a new player for Boca Juniors after the execution of his buyout clause for $1.850.000. In these two and a half years, Lucas was the champion of the Primera Nacional 2021 and the runner-up of the Copa de la Liga 2022. Thank you for everything we've experienced, Lu! The Matadora family wishes you the greatest success," the statement says.
Boca Juniors adds its first reinforcement and its third new face to the team with the arrival of Lucas Blondel, following the returns of Jorman Campuzano and Vicente Taborda, who were on loan and came back to Xeneize. Luis Advíncula, player of the Peruvian national team, will have to work twice as hard to have greater opportunities in the blue and gold starting eleven.
On the other hand, forward Lucas Janson has passed the corresponding medical exams and would already be the team's second reinforcement. In the Argentine team, they still dream of having Edinson Cavani as part of the squad.
