Atlético San Luis are still adding the final pieces to their squad in time for the start of the Clausura 2024. In the new tournament, Gustavo Leal’s team will be attempting to build on the positive sensations they displayed in the Apertura 2023 in which they reached the semi-finals. San Luis are looking to improve on that finish this time around and are believed to have secured a reinforcement to their front line in Franck Boli – a player who is set to join as a free agent.

According to reports by ESPN, Atlético San Luis may have already tied up a deal with the Ivorian centre-forward who spent last year in the MLS with the Portland Timbers. Boli is currently without a club after his contract with Portland expired on New Year’s Day. His incorporation would allow San Luis to fill the last vacancy in their quota of foreign players for the next tournament. Since last year, Liga MX clubs are allowed to have nine players not trained in Mexico included in their squad but a maximum of seven foreign players on the pitch at any one time.
Atlético San Luis start the new campaign away at Mazatlán on Friday 12 January.
