Alexis Cuello offered to River after Boca pull out of the deal | OneFootball

After Boca got tired and ended negotiations with San Lorenzo, Alexis Cuello once again became a key figure in the Argentine football transfer market. Despite the fact that the blue and red president, Sergio Constantino, publicly stated and assured that "he stays," he was offered to River in the last few hours.

The forward's entourage, who scored a double in the 3-2 loss against Lanús in the Apertura debut, brought his name to Marcelo Gallardo's office, who was looking for a reinforcement for the attack front. His tireless performance and his instinct in the area attract the coach, but Stefano Di Carlo's management quickly dismissed him.

The reason is clear: he is not in the plans due to the high demands they have in Boedo. A few days ago, they rejected Boca's second and improved offer of three million gross dollars for 60% of the transfer (to be paid in two installments), figures that came close but did not reach the three million net they had hinted at as a condition.

This last thumbs down from the Ciclón caused Juan Román Riquelme and company to give up on his incorporation and set their sights on other clubs. That's how Ángel Romero arrived, already in Buenos Aires to undergo a medical examination, sign his contract, and be presented to the public.

With a contract until December 2027, Cuello is in no hurry to leave San Lorenzo, although he acknowledged that there are interested parties and left the door slightly open: "I am super focused on my work, on training. I have a contract with this club, which opened the doors for me to continue growing. My agent handles the offers along with the directors, and if proposals arrive that benefit the institution, they will consider them."
