What seemed like an imminent agreement has stalled. The transfer of Colombian forward Marino Hinestroza to Boca Juniors has encountered new disagreements in recent days, preventing the player from traveling to Argentina for the medical examination and contract signing.

According to sources close to the negotiation, 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 delays the arrival of the first reinforcement for Claudio Úbeda's team before the debut in the Torneo Apertura.

The Knot of the Added Value

The central issue revolves around 20% of a future transfer:

  • Boca's stance: The Xeneize proposes that Atlético Nacional receive that 20% only as "added value," meaning if the player is sold for an amount exceeding 5 million dollars.
  • Atlético Nacional's stance: The Colombian club demands that this percentage be on the total amount of any future sale, regardless of the final figure of the operation.

Salary Differences and General Optimism

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 in resolving it 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 training separately in Colombia to stay in shape and be ready to join the Xeneize squad.

Hinestroza's arrival is crucial for Boca, which seeks to strengthen its squad for the 2026 season, a year in which it will return to compete in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores after a two-year absence.
