Atlético Nacional took a key step to resolve the situation of Marino Hinestroza and facilitate his possible transfer to Boca Juniors. In a move aimed at calming the waters and speeding up negotiations, the Colombian club decided to "release" the player, allowing him to miss the official preseason while his future is determined.

The decision was made following the controversy caused by the 23-year-old winger's absences from the first practices of the week, an event that stirred up commotion and discontent among the "Verdolaga" fans. To avoid further friction, the institution and the player reached a mutual agreement.

Hinestroza himself had anticipated this stance by denying rumors of indiscipline. "It's not an act of indiscipline! Much less pressure to go to Boca. It's not an act of indiscipline," he clarified on social media.

The plan is for the Colombian to continue with separate training on his own while the clubs smooth out differences. Boca maintains a firm offer close to five million dollars, an amount Atlético Nacional seeks to increase. The next few hours will be crucial to determine if the "Xeneize" adds Hinestroza as their first signing.
