Boca make a bid for Edwuin Cetré, optimism in the air | OneFootball

As the team prepares to visit Vélez in Liniers, Boca’s management continues working to finalize the arrival of another reinforcement in this transfer window. Edwuin Cetré, the Colombian winger from Estudiantes, is the player targeted by the Xeneize to strengthen their attack.

The team led by Claudio Úbeda is focused on the upcoming match this Sunday at the José Amalfitani stadium for the fourth round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament. At the same time, management continues working in the transfer market, which has been extended due to Rodrigo Battaglia’s injury.

In a transfer window that saw the arrival of Ángel Romero and Santiago Ascacíbar, the board led by Juan Román Riquelme is looking to bring in yet another player due to so many injuries: there are seven players currently in rehabilitation and unable to play.

In recent hours, Boca has made progress in trying to finalize the purchase of Edwuin Cetré. According to sources from the Ribera club, they have already sent a formal offer to Pincha to acquire 50% of the winger’s rights. It’s worth noting that the La Plata team owns that percentage, while the remaining half belongs to Independiente Medellín of Colombia.

Cetré is the one targeted to reinforce the attack.

According to reports, Marcelo Delgado—the club’s Sporting Director—has sent an offer close to 4 million dollars to buy Estudiantes’ share, while also negotiating with DIM to acquire another portion of the rights.

As things stand, the blue and gold side are optimistic because they believe this is a better offer than the one made by Athletico Paranaense. The Albirrojo club is in urgent need to sell, and combined with the cordial relationship left after the transfer of Ruso Ascacíbar, they hope the Colombian’s arrival can also be finalized.

Boca has a free spot

The management can afford to go after the Colombian forward thanks to Williams Alarcón obtaining Argentine citizenship. The Chilean midfielder joins Miguel Merentiel, the Uruguayan, who also gained this benefit some time ago and no longer occupies a foreign player slot. Fabra and Advíncula had completed this process, but they are no longer with the club.

Riquelme and Delgado continue working in the transfer market.

Currently, the Xeneize squad includes Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, Spaniard Ander Herrera, Chilean Carlos Palacios, and Paraguayan Ángel Romero. If Cetré’s arrival is finalized, there would be five, with the caveat that Marcelo Saracchi is due to return mid-year.
