Boca make fresh move for Cetré, how are Estudiantes reacting? | OneFootball

The Xeneize executives are willing to negotiate with Estudiantes de La Plata to keep the Colombian player.

Boca’s executives are not giving up, and before the slot they acquired due to Rodrigo Battaglia’s injury expires, they have stepped on the accelerator to close the deal for Edwuin Cetré. Yes, after a lackluster performance against Platense and ahead of the classic against Racing, they are looking for a way to keep the Colombian winger.

Since the foreign player quota is at its limit (six are allowed per team, but only five can be on the match sheet), Xeneize can add either Cetré or Ádam Bareiro, the two non-Argentinian players they are negotiating for.

At least from Boca’s management side, they explained to this outlet that Juan Román Riquelme stepped on the accelerator with the same conditions as the last offer. However, the representatives of the former Deportivo Independiente Medellín player deny any contact. In the city of diagonals, they confirm that the proposal is exactly the same as the one they already received.

According to sources at Brandsen 805, the offer to Pincha is for a loan with an obligation to buy, for which there has never been a response from 1 y 57, where the amounts for the operation remain as previously discussed. They even state that the Athletico Paranaense deal is no longer on the table.

It’s worth noting that, if he is loaned out, the whole scenario will change for Juan Sebastián Verón and Estudiantes de La Plata, as they would have to renew the winger’s contract, which ends in December of this year.

If he does join, even though the medical examination did not yield favorable results, Boca will internally assess how he responds physically throughout the season. And if he maintains the consistency he has shown recently, both the team from La Plata and the Colombians will receive the money negotiated in recent days.

Cetré’s numbers at Estudiantes

Since his arrival in January 2024, the Colombian Edwuin Cetré has become a key player for Estudiantes de La Plata: he has played 87 matches, scored 12 goals, provided 12 assists, and won four titles (Copa de la Liga, Clausura, and two Trofeo de Campeones).
