What seemed to be one of the strongest moves in the transfer market ended in a deep disappointment for the Xeneize world: Marino Hinestroza will not play for Boca. In recent hours, Boca's management ended any type of negotiation for the winger who was the big bet to strengthen the attack of the team led by Claudio Úbeda.

Despite initial efforts to reach an agreement, the lack of concrete progress ultimately blew up an operation that seemed very advanced just a few days ago. The main reason for the collapse of the negotiations lies in the absolute silence from the player's camp and Atlético Nacional.

According to reports from the Ezeiza offices, the club did not receive any response to the proposals sent since last Friday. This lack of communication was interpreted by the management as a clear sign that the priorities of the player and his original club had shifted towards other horizons, leaving Boca with no room to maneuver, as they had accepted the terms imposed by their Colombian counterparts.

Hinestroza is going to Vasco da Gama.

While uncertainty reigned in La Ribera, the situation in Colombia and Brazil quickly became clear with news explaining the snub. Various sources assure that Hinestroza's future is already sealed and his destination will be Vasco da Gama. The Brazilian club reportedly presented a superior financial offer that convinced all parties involved: a deal worth around 6 million dollars in exchange for 80% of the player's rights.

The forward will continue his career in the Brasileirão, leaving Boca empty-handed and in urgent need of seeking alternatives. With the deal officially off, the club must now scout for new names in a market that is starting to close, seeking to compensate for the frustration of not being able to secure their main target to enhance the squad.

Boca's president trusts in the squad he has to face 2026.

The outlook is not encouraging for Juan Román Riquelme and Marcelo Delgado, who lead the negotiations. A week before the start of the official competition, they have not been able to secure the arrival of any player, but according to the president's own words, “there's no need to go crazy” because they trust in the squad they have to face the competitions they will have during 2026.
