Boca seal deal with Atlético Nacional for Marino Hinestroza: the details | OneFootball

After various complications among all the parties involved, the transfer of the Colombian player is finally expected to be resolved in the coming hours, and Úbeda hopes to have him available for training next week.

The back-and-forth seems to have come to an end, and the outcome has turned out to be what everyone wanted. Boca and Atlético Nacional have reached a full agreement, and Marino Hinestroza will become the first signing for Claudio Úbeda ahead of 2026. If everything goes as expected, the player could join training sessions as early as next week.

Although negotiations dragged on much longer than anticipated and the winger has already missed almost the entire preseason, the good news is that, they believe, there will be no more setbacks. Xeneize will purchase the entirety of the 23-year-old player’s rights for around five million dollars and will allow the Colombian club to receive a capital gain of 20% on any future sale that exceeds the amount paid in this deal.

With this, the Sifón will be able to add an option to play on the wings, in this case the left side, in his current 4-3-3 system. In the first test of the year, the starter was Brian Aguirre and his substitute, Kevin Zenón. On the other side, Exequiel Zeballos is an untouchable piece, at least for now.

Sharp, fast, and skillful, Hinestroza comes from playing 56 matches with Atlético Nacional in 2025. In those, he scored 7 goals and provided 11 assists, winning the Superliga and the Colombian League. In addition, last year he made his debut with his national team, coming off the bench against Peru and Bolivia in the South American Qualifiers. Currently, he is fighting for a spot in Néstor Lorenzo’s consideration for the next World Cup.

While waiting for the ever-delayed recovery of Edinson Cavani, Úbeda plans to bet on a 4-3-3 in which he has a reserved spot for Hinestroza. With Changuito as the undisputed starter on one side, the Colombian will have to compete with Aguirre and Zenón and, although with different characteristics, with Carlos Palacios and even Alan Velasco. For now, the coach eagerly awaits his arrival to start shaping his ideal starting eleven.
