Marino Hinestroza snubs Boca, set to join Vasco da Gama | OneFootball

At Brandsen 805, they were expecting the player these days to sign his contract, but there were no more signs, nor did the confirmation from Atlético Nacional arrive. The explanation? The Brazilian team appeared and snatched him away at the last moment.

The negotiation between Boca, Atlético Nacional, and Marino Hinestroza has already earned a place as the great saga of the 2026 transfer market. However, it has ended. After going through all possible states (confirmations, complications, rumors of collapse, and new twists and turns), the Xeneize will not have the winger as a reinforcement: he will play for Vasco Da Gama.

The emergence of the Brazilian team, with a superior economic proposal (6 million dollars and 20% of a future surplus value), changed the course of the story and left the Colombian out of La Bombonera, when he was just a step away from arriving.

In Colombia, they already confirm that Hinestroza will be a new face for Vasco Da Gama and at La Ribera, they were as surprised as they were angry, especially because of how both the player and Atlético Nacional handled the situation, constantly changing their stance and negotiation terms.

In fact, at Xeneize, they don't understand what happened between Friday—the day they sent the email ensuring they met all the economic conditions that had been discussed—and today's outcome, when it was decided that the player's future was in Brazil. More so when Hinestroza himself had shown willingness to wear the blue and gold jersey before the Vasco option appeared.

With the market closing ever closer, the story had its final chapter without a happy ending for Boca, which is now left adrift in the transfer market.
