San Lorenzo set condition for Alexis Cuello transfer to Boca | OneFootball

Since the start of the transfer market in Argentine football, one of Boca’s main targets has been Alexis Cuello, a forward who had an impressive 2025 season wearing the San Lorenzo de Almagro jersey. However, tensions between the clubs have been present since the beginning of the transfer window.

In this context, the latest formal offer from the Xeneize club amounted to 2.5 million dollars for 60% of the rights to the 25-year-old striker, who previously played for Barracas Central, Instituto de Córdoba, and Almagro. However, the email with Boca’s offer was not immediately answered by El Ciclón.

On the contrary, the response from the club in the Boedo neighborhood of Buenos Aires was excessively delayed, causing significant frustration within the management led by Juan Román Riquelme. In fact, this situation almost led Boca to give up on acquiring the services of the player born in Dock Sud.

Despite this situation, the long-awaited response finally arrived this Tuesday. Sergio Constantino, president of San Lorenzo, led the communication, stating—as expected given his recent public comments—that the figures offered by Boca were nowhere near what the Azulgrana side was seeking.

“Insufficient offer, so it will not be considered,” San Lorenzo initially stated. Nevertheless, El Ciclón then left the door open for Xeneize to continue negotiations and for the transfer to still have a chance of happening, provided the numbers are increased.

“However, we remain open to evaluating any new proposal received in this regard,” San Lorenzo added. This gesture rekindled hope for the team strategically led by Claudio Úbeda, whose management is willing to improve their offer with the clear goal of reaching an agreement as soon as possible.

Naturally, Boca’s positive stance in response to San Lorenzo’s reply is directly influenced by what recently happened with Marino Hinestroza, whose transfer fell through completely after the Colombian forward ended up accepting an offer to play for Vasco da Gama.
