Blondel: Boca Future in Doubt – Olé

It could have been a timely, opportune solution with a view to a solution for a case that seems increasingly complex. This Monday there were efforts to Lucas Blondel He went on to play on loan in Elche. However, the operation that would have resolved the uncertainty regarding the future of the Boca side and – in turn – gave the club the chance to open another incorporation slot was rejected. And now everything goes back to zero.

The end of 2025 for the former Tigre did not assume second readings: he was a player with the future inevitably far from Boca. Without action for even a minute in the last half of the year and out of the squad in most of the games, the interest of more than one Argentine soccer club suggested that he would soon seal his departure from the club.

What happened next – between the rejected offer for him to go on loan to Argentinos and the minutes he played against Olimpia in the summer, in addition to the departure of Luis Advíncula – made him think that he could have another chance to fight for the right back position. However, Claudio Ubeda decided to join the squad from the relegated group to Marcelo Weigandt and Blondel was once again out of consideration, already out of those called up for the recent match against Newell’s.

Where can you go at this point?

Therefore, this end of the market in most leagues appears like a race against time for a pass to resolve the issue. Although it will not be Elche or the Spanish League, where the chance to incorporate has already been closed. Even the team led by Argentine businessman Cristian Bragarnik closed the side from Rome Buba Sangaré, completely ruling out interest in Blondel.

The footballer and the journalist spread the video on their Instagram accounts.

Thus, the future once again becomes difficult to predict for the player who in two years (plus the half in which he did not add a minute) played 32 games and scored four goals with the Boca shirt. A perhaps small number of presences, although it is inevitable to consider that he was off the field for almost a year due to his serious knee injury.

The world question

The other no less minor issue is his almost ruled out presence in the next World Cup, where he seemed to have a good chance of participating with the Swiss team, which had him among its squad until he stopped having minutes in his club. And with the door open to another semester without action, it definitely seems that he will not consider it again.
