Chelsea have continued tracking South American talent, and two Boca Juniors prospects are again on their radar ahead of the summer window.
The London club have been keeping tabs on Milton Delgado and Dylan Gorosito for months. That interest has not faded. Instead, it now looks more informed after both featured prominently at youth level and started progressing differently at Boca.
Reports from Argentina indicate Chelsea remain attentive to both players’ development. The pair first caught wider attention during the 2025 U20 World Cup, where they were part of Argentina’s run to the final.
Long-term monitoring from Chelsea
Chelsea’s interest is not new. As previously covered, the club made contact with Milton Delgado’s representatives in November. A few weeks later, Dylan Gorosito was also placed on their internal shortlist.
It suggests this is part of a structured recruitment approach rather than a reactive move based on tournament exposure.
Chelsea have leaned heavily on youth recruitment in recent windows. South America remains a key market. Players are often identified early, then followed closely before any formal step is taken.
Different development paths at Boca Juniors
Milton Delgado is currently the more advanced of the two. The defensive midfielder has started to establish himself in Boca’s first team. He has earned regular minutes and already contributed with an assist.
During the U20 World Cup, Delgado’s performances stood out. He finished the tournament with the Bronze Ball, underlining his influence in Argentina’s midfield.
His profile fits what Chelsea often look for. He is composed in possession, tactically aware, and capable of dictating tempo. Reports also mention a release clause worth several million dollars, which could shape any future negotiations.
Dylan Gorosito, meanwhile, remains earlier in his development. The right-back, born in 2006, splits his time between youth football and occasional first-team involvement.
However, his attacking qualities have already been noted. He scored against Italy at the U20 World Cup and is seen as a modern full-back with strong forward instincts.
What happens next
Chelsea are unlikely to rush into immediate moves for either player. Instead, continued monitoring appears the most realistic next step.
Delgado looks closer to a potential transfer, given his growing role at senior level. Gorosito may require more time before any concrete decision is made.
Still, both fit Chelsea’s broader strategy. Identifying high-ceiling talent early, maintaining contact, and moving when the timing aligns has become a clear pattern.
With Boca Juniors providing a strong development platform, Chelsea will keep watching closely.
