Lucas Torreira Publicly Pitches Move to Boca Juniors, Addressing Riquelme Directly

Conflicting reports on his Galatasaray contract leave the timing of any move uncertain.

Overview

  • He offered himself in a Fix Entertainment interview, telling Juan Román Riquelme “When do we sign?” and reaffirming that playing for Boca is his top wish.
  • He said he recently spoke with Edinson Cavani about his future and the possibility of joining Boca.
  • Clarín and TN report his Galatasaray deal runs to mid-2028, while Diario Uno claims it ends in June 2026, a date that outlet says would allow pre-contract talks now for a July move.
  • No formal negotiations or offer from Boca have been publicly confirmed.
  • Boca is seeking a central midfielder for its Libertadores bid, though Torreira is not currently among stated priorities, with Riquelme viewing him more as a long-term option.
