Fluminense turn down Boca’s first bid for Kevin Serna, club want higher fee | OneFootball

The management of the Brazilian club rejected the amount sent by Xeneize, although they showed willingness to continue the talks and set out how much they want.

Boca received a negative response from Fluminense regarding Kevin Serna: the Brazilian club rejected the $5 million offer sent by Xeneize in recent hours, considering it insufficient. Nevertheless, the negotiation is not off the table, as those in Rio de Janeiro have shown a willingness to keep the dialogue going.

The Colombian winger is one of the priorities activated by the management after the failed transfer of Marino Hinestroza and fits the profile that Juan Román Riquelme is looking for to strengthen the attack. In this context, the first formal offer did not meet Flu’s expectations, who value the player highly and are looking for a figure closer to $7,000,000 USD.

Despite the initial rejection, Boca understands that Fluminense’s stance is not final and that there is room to move forward if the financial terms are improved. The deal is not closed yet, and at Brandsen 805 they are considering whether to raise the offer to get closer to the amount the Carioca club is asking for, which has room to stand firm since Serna’s contract runs until December 2027.

Meanwhile, the Football Council’s efforts are not limited to Serna: Boca is also negotiating for Ángel Romero and Alexis Cuello as part of their offensive search in the transfer market. The Paraguayan emerges as a concrete alternative with a serious chance of becoming a reinforcement, while they are also holding talks with San Lorenzo to try to unlock another signing for the attack.

With the market entering its decisive stage and the urgency to strengthen the attack ahead of the Apertura Tournament debut, Boca has started to step on the accelerator to bring in new faces, not only for the immediate future but above all with an eye on the return to the Copa Libertadores.
