Who is the former player of La Máquina that Boca Juniors is looking at? It's Lucas Passerini, an Argentine player who is currently 32 years old and plays in the Argentine league, but with Belgrano. It's been four years since Lucas last played in a Liga MX team, as he was part of Necaxa and Atlético San Luis. With information from César Luis Merlo, Boca Juniors' negotiations with Lucas Passerini are in an advanced stage; however, it's worth noting that the Argentine player was not the first option to join the team, as they had also looked at David Romero de Tigre, or Luciano Gondou from CSKA Moscow. With the rejection of these two players, Boca Juniors' 'Plan C' has been put into action to try to sign a striker. This time, however, there is a lot of optimism that Boca Juniors can sign the former Cruz Azul player. Lucas Passerini's numbers with Belgrano The Xeneize team is working hard to bring a striker to its ranks, and Passerini is one of the options they are considering. The champion of the Apertura tournament was the author of a total of 20 goals in 75 games with the Cordoba team; however, in the current tournament, he has only added a low quota of three goals and six assists in 16 games, being titular in six of the mentioned matches. If the former Cruz Azul player wants to join the Bosteros, the transfer needs to be interesting, as the Argentine player maintains a contract with Belgrano, which ends on December 31, 2028. With Cruz Azul, Lucas Passerini played only 17 games, in which he scored four goals, had an assist, and was sent off once; in his time outside of Liga MX with Necaxa, he played 16 games and scored three goals, while with San Luis he played 10 games and did not score a single goal. The current situation of Cruz Azul in Liga MX is as follows: 2nd in the standings, with 6 points, 2 wins, 0 draws, and 0 losses in their last 2 games, and a streak of 3 consecutive wins. The next match of Cruz Azul will be against Atlante FC at its stadium, the Estadio Azteca, on August 2, 2026. On the other hand, the player Amaury Morales is currently out of the game due to an injury. The situation of Lucas Passerini's transfer is very delicate, as the player has a contract with Belgrano until December 2028, which could make the transfer complicated. However, the Boca Juniors team is still working on negotiating to try to sign the Argentine striker. In summary, the situation of Lucas Passerini and his possible arrival at Cruz Azul is very interesting, and the Boca Juniors team is still working on negotiating to try to sign the Argentine striker.
