Since the transfer market began in Argentine football, one of Boca's main targets was Alexis Cuello, a forward who had an impressive 2025 defending the San Lorenzo de Almagro jersey. However, the tug-of-war between the institutions was present from the start of the transfer window.

In this context, the latest formal proposal from the Xeneize institution amounted to 2.5 million dollars for 60% of the 25-year-old striker's rights, who has a history of playing for Barracas Central, Instituto de Córdoba, and Almagro. However, the email with Boca's offer was not immediately responded to by the Ciclón.

On the contrary, the response from the entity in the Boedo neighborhood of Buenos Aires was excessively delayed, causing significant discontent within the leadership led by Juan Román Riquelme. This scenario even led to Boca practically giving up on acquiring the services of the player born in Dock Sud.

Despite this situation, the delayed response arrived this Tuesday. Sergio Constantino, president of San Lorenzo, led the communication indicating, as expected given his recent public statements, that the figures offered by Boca were not even close to what the Azulgrana team wanted.

"Insufficient proposal, so it will not be considered," San Lorenzo began stating. However, subsequently, the Ciclón opened the door for the Xeneize to continue negotiations and for the transfer to have a chance of being completed, provided the numbers are increased.

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

Naturally, this positive stance from Boca in response to San Lorenzo is directly influenced by the recent events with Marino Hinestroza, whose transfer was completely thwarted because the Colombian forward ended up accepting the offer to play for Vasco da Gama.
