Boca Juniors has reached a personal agreement with Alan Lescano, but the deal to sign the creative midfielder as the club's fourth reinforcement has stalled due to a decisive problem: a lack of understanding between Argentinos Juniors and Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, the two clubs involved in the player's transfer structure. After Lucas Blondel's departure to Huracán, the club at La Ribera activated the available spot to sign a new player and set their sights on the 'Bicho' captain. Yesterday, on Splendid AM 990, it was acknowledged that for Argentinos, it is 'very difficult' to let Lescano go, as 'the numbers of the operation do not add up and the money that would be left would not be enough to replace him satisfactorily'. Thus, Boca has an advanced agreement with the player, a clear footballing need, and a deadline that is running out. But until the situation between Argentinos and Gimnasia is resolved, Alan Lescano's arrival will be closer to a complication than a signing. The task is to find a point of balance that allows the transfer to be completed, but for now, there have been no significant advances, and concern is growing at Brandsen 805 about not being able to sign the player they consider ideal to bring creativity to the midfield. Argentinos do not rule out a sale, especially because the premature eliminations in the Argentine Cup and the Copa Libertadores altered the club's economic forecast for 2026. However, beyond the player's approval, the negotiation has bogged down in the financial engineering of the transfer, with the 'Wolf' holding firm on a figure close to three million dollars for his part. In this context, the margin for maneuver is shrinking. The deadline to use the spot is this Tuesday, so Boca is in a race against time to try to unblock an operation that, until a few days ago, seemed possible and today looks seriously compromised, according to what Argentine News Agency was able to find out. Andrés Guglielminpietro, the midfielder's agent and a man with good relations with all parties, is working to bring the positions closer. However, in La Paternal they are not desperate: they understand that if a convenient proposal for all does not appear, they can keep the player and discuss his departure again in the next transfer window. The public stance of the 'Bicho' president, Christian Malaspina, was in that same direction.
