Boca Juniors are closing in on Leandro Lozano, the 27-year-old Uruguay defender, as their first reinforcement of the new pre-season. The deal with Argentinos Juniors is in its final stretch: terms between Boca and the player are reported as fully agreed, with the two clubs now ironing out small differences over the final amount and the percentage of the player being sold. A formal offer has already been sent, and talks centre on a fee somewhere between £3.2m and £4.3m, with a £3.2m bid the figure on the record. The reporting is solid and recent. TyC Sports, a reliable outlet, framed the move as effectively done two days ago, describing an operation Boca were rushing to close. That was reinforced by Augusto Cesar, a well-rated reporter, who said within the last day that everything is agreed with the player and only minor gaps remain between the clubs. Two credible voices pointing the same way is encouraging corroboration. The 95% reading reflects that near-completion. Player terms are settled, a formal offer is in, and both sides are talking only about money and sell-on detail rather than whether a deal happens at all. The small remaining slice of doubt is exactly that unresolved fee and percentage; until the clubs sign off, it is not formally done. For context, Boca have spent at this level before: they paid £4m to Santos Laguna in 2018 and £4m to Huracán for incoming defenders, so a fee in the £3.2m–£4.3m range sits comfortably within their recent habits. Watch for the clubs to settle the final amount and sell-on percentage, which should swiftly trigger confirmation and a medical.
