Juan Sebastián Boselli Graf (born 4 December 2003) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a defender for Argentine Primera División club Estudiantes, on loan from River Plate.[1]
Boselli was born on 4 December 2003 in Montevideo, Uruguay to Pablo Boselli and Erika Graf. Many of his relatives are professional athletes; Pablo is a former padel player who captained the Uruguay national padel team in the 2008 Padel World Championship. He currently works as a football agent.[2] Erika is a professional swimmer who competed in the 1996 Summer Olympics.[3] His older brothers, Juan Martín and Juan Manuel, are also professional footballers, the latter of whom has also represented Uruguay on the international stage.[4] Boselli is of paternal Italian descent and holds an Italian passport,[5] whereas his mother is of German heritage.
Boselli is a youth academy graduate of Defensor Sporting.[6] He made his professional debut for the club on 7 September 2022 in a Uruguay Cup 1–0 victory against Racing Club de Montevideo.[7] His team subsequently ended up winning the competition.[8]
On 23 August 2023, an agreement was announced by River Plate to sign Boselli.[9] The unveiling was published on River Plate's social media platforms on 29 August.[10] Boselli made his official debut with the club on 9 December against Rosario Central in the semifinals of the 2023 Copa de la Liga Profesional, but would lose on penalties.[11] On 22 December, he was once again called for the starting lineup in a rematch against Rosario Central, this time for the 2023 Trofeo de Campeones de la Liga Profesional. Boselli played the whole match and was praised for his performance; River eventually won 2–0 for their 71st title.[12]
On 27 August 2024, Boselli joined fellow Argentine club Estudiantes on loan until December 2025.[13]
Boselli is a Uruguayan youth international, most notably being one of the standout players of the Uruguay national under-20 football team in the 2023 South American Youth Championship.[14] [15] He was then a part of the Uruguayan side that won the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina.[16] [17] In June 2023, Boselli received his first call-up to the senior team for friendlies against Nicaragua and Cuba.[18] In January 2024, he was named in Uruguay's squad for the 2024 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament under Marcelo Bielsa.[19]
