What seemed like an imminent agreement has stalled. The transfer of Colombian striker Marino Hinestroza to Boca Juniors has encountered new disagreements in recent days, preventing the player from traveling to Argentina for his medical examination and contract signing.
According to sources close to the negotiations, the main point of conflict between Boca and Atlético Nacional lies in the percentage of a future sale of the 23-year-old footballer—a key difference in criteria that is delaying the arrival of the first reinforcement for Claudio Úbeda’s team before the debut in the Torneo Apertura.
The central obstacle revolves around 20% of a future transfer:
Beyond the dispute between clubs, there is also a minor point of disagreement between Boca and the player’s representatives regarding his salary, although both parties are confident it will be resolved soon.
Despite the obstacles, optimism prevails on all three fronts (Boca, Nacional, and the player) to reach an agreement in the coming days and close the deal. While these details are being resolved, Hinestroza continues to train separately in Colombia to stay in shape and be ready to join the Xeneize squad.
Hinestroza’s arrival is crucial for Boca, which is looking to strengthen its squad ahead of the 2026 season, the year in which it will return to the Copa Libertadores group stage after a two-year absence.
