Fluminense decision could bring Kevin Serna closer to Boca | OneFootball

In the last few hours, the Brazilian team announced the signing of Jefferson Savarino, a Venezuelan winger coming from Botafogo. Meanwhile, Xeneize is considering making a new offer for the Colombian player.

After scoring a brace in Fluminense’s victory over Nova Iguaçu, Kevin Serna is one of Boca’s main targets following the failed arrival of Marino Hinestroza. Although the first offer was rejected and the player is important to his team, the Xeneize management remains optimistic, and in recent hours, a piece of news could shift the scenario in their favor: the Tricolor signed Jefferson Savarino, another high-caliber winger.

Prior to the aforementioned match in the Campeonato Carioca, the Brazilian club confirmed the arrival of the 29-year-old Venezuelan, who comes from Botafogo. With proven quality and a decisive role in winning the 2024 Copa Libertadores, this change of scenery could also open the door for the Colombian’s departure.

Although for now the last contact ended with Flu refusing to let him go for 5 million dollars, Boca has already advanced in negotiating the probable contract with the player and is preparing a new offer to try to get closer to the other party’s demands.

Juan Román Riquelme’s optimism is based not only on Savarino’s arrival, but also on the fact that Serna’s own agent traveled to Brazil to try to facilitate his exit from Fluminense. Of course, this doesn’t mean everything is set for his arrival at Xeneize, but it’s a first step that brings hope to La Ribera. The stance of coach Luis Zubeldía will be crucial in determining his future.

Currently recovering after an angioplasty, the coach is being replaced on the bench by his assistant, Maximiliano Cuberas. After the match, he spoke about Serna and said: “We are very happy with him. He has played in most of the matches because he has maintained a high level. We consider him a very important player for the squad, so that the young players who have joined, along with the new signings, can help us be at our best. We consider him very important for us.”

After his brace last night against Nova Iguaçu, Serna spoke to the Brazilian press and avoided commenting on his future. In fact, he appeared very focused on his present at Fluminense and the goals ahead. “The most important thing is that the team won to build confidence for Sunday’s match.”
