San Lorenzo turn down latest offer, Boca drop pursuit of Alexis Cuello | OneFootball

Boca's attempt to sign Alexis Cuello has reached its end. San Lorenzo rejected the latest offer, and facing their inflexible stance, the Xeneize decided to definitively withdraw from negotiations for the forward, one of the main targets in this transfer market.

The pursuit of the attacker was, in fact, the longest and most prioritized effort undertaken in La Ribera during the summer. There were advances, financial improvements, and new contacts, but they never managed to unlock a deal that the Ciclón always conditioned on higher figures.

With a thumbs down to the 3 million dollars gross for the 60% of the transfer rights owned by San Lorenzo, Boca understood that the path was exhausted and chose to close the negotiations, aiming to redirect efforts elsewhere and not prolong the issue further.

In this scenario, in Ezeiza, they are already reorganizing the offensive plan. The arrival of Ángel Romero seems imminent and everything indicates that he will be the first signing of the year, while communications continue in parallel for Kevin Serna, an alternative that appeals due to his imbalance and versatility in attack.

Thus, Boca turns the page after the failed saga for Cuello—the name for which they invested the most time and energy—and accelerates for another alternative whose name has not yet been revealed to strengthen a sensitive area of the team, aiming to reach the first dates of the Torneo Apertura with new offensive options. Besides Romero and Serna, Juan Román Riquelme will now pursue another number 9 after the deal for the Ciclón forward fell through.
