Boca started the Torneo Apertura with a narrow 1-0 win over Deportivo Riestra, thanks to a goal by Lautaro Di Lollo, but the focus quickly shifted back to the transfer market. In the last few hours, an unexpected rumor shook the Xeneize world: Romelu Lukaku was reportedly asked about the possibility of wearing the blue and gold.
The information was revealed by Leandro "Tato" Aguilera on TyC Sports, who confirmed that an Argentine businessman contacted the Belgian striker's camp to ask whether he would be interested in living the "Boca experience".
The rumor emerges in a particular context for Xeneize, which is going through a real emergency in the center forward position. Before the debut against Riestra, Edinson Cavani, Milton Giménez, and Miguel Merentiel were already injured, and Lucas Janson, with physical discomfort, was added to that list. That string of absences reignited the urgent need to bring in a "9".
