Boca eye two San Lorenzo players, but face an unusual hurdle | OneFootball

The management of Boca continues working on finding reinforcements to face the 2026 season, in which the team will have multiple competitions to contest. With the Copa Libertadores as the main objective, Juan Román Riquelme and Marcelo Delgado aim to finalize the arrival of several players, including two footballers from San Lorenzo.

The problem is that the Xeneize club has encountered an unusual situation: the institutional crisis that the Ciclón is going through. The players in sight are Gastón Hernández and Alexis Cuello. Boca has a concrete interest in both, but currently, there is no formal leadership in San Lorenzo to which an offer can be sent.

Boca wants Gastón Hernández and Alexis Cuello from San Lorenzo.

The blue and red board of directors is in a state of headlessness, a situation that its president, Marcelo Moretti, is trying to reverse through a precautionary measure presented to the Justice. “I requested the annulment of the act because it is maliciously intended to carry out a coup. I understand that the court will agree with me and that I will be reinstated as president,” he assured in radio statements this Friday.

In this context, the blue and gold team awaits the resolution of the institutional conflict in the Cuervo to be able to present a formal proposal for Gastón Hernández and Alexis Cuello, for whom they would be willing to pay between 6 and 7 million dollars.

Moretti himself referred to the situation amid the transfer market and the interest in his players. “Until two days ago, they were talking to me. Now they have to wait until Monday: if the judge approves the precautionary measure, I will return as president,” he explained.

Consequently, the Xeneize will have to wait until the beginning of next week to be able to advance for these two players while continuing negotiations for the Colombian winger Marino Hinestroza.

While the players enjoy their break, the management advances in the search for reinforcements for the 2026 season. Manager Marcelo Delgado is in full negotiations to finalize the incorporation of Marino Hinestroza, although an unexpected competitor has emerged in recent hours.

Santos from Brazil has set its sights on the 23-year-old Colombian winger, who has already said goodbye to Atlético Nacional de Medellín. According to the press from the neighboring country, the Peixe intends to disrupt the negotiation that Boca started to acquire the player.

The Xeneize wants to finalize Hinestroza's arrival as soon as possible.

Neymar's club would be willing to present a higher offer than the Xeneize, which is around 4 million dollars plus an additional million in objectives. Despite the intervention of the São Paulo team, Boca remains confident that they will be able to close the arrival of the Colombian attacker in the coming days.
