Boca Juniors has initiated formal contacts to sign central defender Gastón Hernández from San Lorenzo, aiming to reinforce its defensive line with experienced local players during the transfer window. The central defender is aware of the "Xeneize's" interest and has shown willingness to listen to a concrete offer if negotiations progress. According to sources, the management of Boca and San Lorenzo have already begun dialogue lines to evaluate a permanent transfer, although no formal offer has been made at this time. The defender, meanwhile, remains focused on the present, awaiting a decision on his future. In terms of discipline, he received three bookings and no expulsions, a data point valued when analyzing a center-back's performance. Statistically, he contributed one goal, averaging 0.07 goals per match, and maintained an average performance rating of 6.13. During that period, he played 15 official matches, all as a starter, accumulating 1,305 minutes on the field with just one substitution. Considering the last complete season, the defender amassed 27 official matches and a single goal, solidifying himself as a reliable piece within the azulgrana defensive structure. This trajectory would have sparked Boca's interest, which aims to add solidity, consistency, and knowledge of Argentine football. For now, Hernández's potential move would remain in the evaluation stage, though at Brandsen 805 they would not rule out advancing further if negotiations with San Lorenzo continue on a positive path. In La Ribera, they would analyze different defensive alternatives, while El Ciclón would not rule out negotiating the player's departure if the financial conditions prove favorable for the institution. Hernández, 27, was one of the defenders with the most continuity at San Lorenzo during the 2025/26 season.
