Estudiantes lose Medina, Botafogo deal and announcement imminent | OneFootball

Fogao lifted the ban that was weighing against it and sent a pre-contract to the footballer, who in the next few hours will leave Pincha to continue his career in Brazilian football.

After some back and forth, Cristian Medina's days at Estudiantes are finally coming to an end. Botafogo and Pincha have reached an agreement for the midfielder to move to Brazilian football in the coming days.

Since the beginning of the year, Botafogo had been trying to secure the services of the former Boca player. However, a ban resulting from a debt with Atlanta United for the transfer of Thiago Almada prevented the Brazilian club from moving forward. With that issue now resolved, Fogao decided to make another push and seal Medina's arrival.

Although the decision to bring the player to Brazil also responds to the interest of the investment group led by Foster Gillett—who put up 15 million dollars to pay his release clause from Boca in mid-2025—the fact is that Pincha will still receive some compensation, the amount of which has not yet been disclosed, for the early termination of the player's contract.
