The management of Boca has managed to secure their first signing: Marino Hinestroza will become a Xeneize player in the coming hours. After reaching a successful conclusion in a negotiation that became excessively lengthy, they hope to make progress on two more players.
Marcelo Delgado is focused on finalizing the arrivals of Alexis Cuello and Gastón Hernández. He already knows that to take the forward away from San Lorenzo, he will have to pay 3 million net dollars to acquire the 60% owned by the Boedo club. It’s worth remembering that the remaining 40% belongs to Almagro.

Boca is looking to close deals for Gastón Hernández and Alexis Cuello.
As for the central defender, the Ciclón is demanding a sum close to 4 million. The amount is similar to what they asked Olympiakos for in 2024 to sell his rights, but that transfer ultimately fell through. The Xeneize already tried to sign him in the previous transfer window at the request of the late Miguel Ángel Russo, but San Lorenzo was unwilling to sell. Now, the situation is different.
Due to the institutional crisis that San Lorenzo is experiencing, negotiations stalled. Now, as things are being regularized under the transitional presidency of Sergio Costantino, the team from La Ribera hopes to move forward.
Boca’s management has confirmed two preparatory matches as part of the preseason taking place in Ezeiza. The first will be against Millonarios of Colombia, next Wednesday, January 14, at La Bombonera. In addition to serving as a football rehearsal, the match will have a special touch: it will be a tribute to Miguel Ángel Russo, former coach of both clubs.

The Xeneize will face Millonarios and Olimpia.
The second match will be against Olimpia of Paraguay, a rival that replaces Nacional after their withdrawal from the friendly as they chose to stay in their country to prepare for their season. This match will be played on Sunday, January 18, at the Estadio Único de San Nicolás, with kickoff scheduled for 9:00 p.m.
