Lucas Torreira Pitches Himself to Boca Juniors After Talks With Riquelme

Conflicting reports on his Galatasaray contract leave the timeline for any move in doubt.

Overview

  • The Uruguay international reiterated that playing for Boca is his greatest wish and replied "¿Cuándo firmamos?" when prompted about a call from Juan Román Riquelme.
  • Torreira said he recently spoke directly with Riquelme and also had an important conversation with Edinson Cavani about his future.
  • Clarín reports he is tied to Galatasaray until mid-2028, which would make a short‑term transfer unlikely.
  • Diario Uno and La Gaceta report his deal runs to June 2026, suggesting he could negotiate a precontract from January 1 for a July 1 arrival.
  • Boca is seeking a central midfielder but has not listed Torreira as a current priority, with Riquelme viewing him as a longer‑term option.
