After his transfer to Athletico Paranaense fell through, Boca began negotiations to sign Edwin Cetré, a player from Estudiantes de La Plata. According to various sources, there has been a recent approach to understand the details of the possible negotiation with the Pincha.
The Colombian winger returned to training with the Pincha after his failed transfer to the Brazilian team. What seemed to be an imminent transfer collapsed in the last few hours. Despite the player already being in Brazil, discrepancies in the final terms between Estudiantes and the Curitiba club halted the operation.
As soon as the news of the stalled talks broke, rumors began circulating suggesting supposed issues in the medical examination or physical problems of the player. However, sources directly linked to the negotiation confirmed that these rumors are false.

Cetré faced the Xeneize several times with Estudiantes.
The initial agreement between the institutions was based on a clean 6 million dollars for the total ownership. It should be noted that Estudiantes shares the ownership of the player with Independiente Medellín, which owns the remaining 50%, a club that had already given the green light for the sale.
Despite this prior consensus, last-minute differences arose in the financial terms and payment methods between the Pincha and the Brazilian team. These discrepancies proved insurmountable. Now, the Xeneize, aware of this situation, began efforts to incorporate him.
After the transfer of Santiago Ascacibar, the dialogue between the managements is fluid and is not expected to be an impediment when negotiating for the Colombian winger. Although the fans were upset about the sale of Ruso, the Pincha's management is clear that they must prioritize the economic aspect to address the deficit presented in their latest balance sheet.

Boca acquired Ascacibar and now seeks Cetré.
It is expected that in the coming hours there will be more news regarding this interest from the club from La Ribera for Cetré and whether they will indeed proceed decisively to quickly finalize his arrival to join the team technically led by Claudio Úbeda.
