Boca enquire about Edwuin Cetré: Estudiantes' decision | OneFootball

In the search for reinforcements before the available spot expires due to Rodrigo Battaglia’s injury, Boca made an initial call to Estudiantes to inquire about the situation of Edwuin Cetré. The Colombian has appeared on the radar as an option for the attacking midfielder position, one of the blue and gold market’s priorities along with that of a center forward.

According to TyC Sports, the contact was exploratory and aimed at understanding the player’s general situation, who in recent hours returned to training with the Pincha squad after his transfer to Athletico Paranaense fell through. That deal had progressed to the point where Cetré underwent a medical examination and was on track to become the most expensive signing in the Brazilian club’s history.

From La Plata, however, it was officially announced that the transfer was canceled. In a statement, the club explained that “despite previous progress, the deal has been voided due to last-minute differences in the terms between both institutions.”

The version circulated by the Brazilian press was different and created more noise. In that country, they reported that during the medical exams, “problems in the cardiological studies” of the attacker were detected, which led the directors to consider it “more prudent not to proceed with the transfer,” which included a three-season contract.

Beyond the interest and any inquiries that may arise, those at Pincha clarify that there is no urgency to part ways with the Colombian attacker. With a current contract and once again available to the coaching staff led by Eduardo Domínguez, the club is not desperate to sell him and would only move forward with a transfer if the offer is favorable both sportingly and financially.

With this scenario, Estudiantes is considering two possible paths: to move forward with a sale if an offer that satisfies the club appears, or, if the Colombian stays, to improve his contract conditions.

It is also worth noting that the entity presided over by Juan Sebastián Verón recently completed the sale of Santiago Ascacíbar to the club from La Ribera, a deal that set a direct precedent between both clubs in this transfer window. That transfer not only brought significant revenue to Pincha but also opened a fluid channel of communication between the managements, a factor that could play a role if the interest in the Colombian turns into formal negotiations. On the other hand, selling another of its stars to Xeneize could be a risky move for the Pincharrata directors in the eyes of their members.

Meanwhile, at Boca, they continue to work against the clock. The management is looking to take advantage of the current spot to close at least one more signing and is evaluating alternatives for the attacking midfield. Cetré’s name is already on the table and, although there has only been one call so far, it is not ruled out that negotiations could progress in the coming days.
