Boca decided to pause and change the game pieces for Edwuin Cetré. What seemed like a closed purchase at U$S 4.5 million took an unexpected turn after the private medical examination required by the club. The Only Great does not want to make a misstep with its assets.
The tests revealed a reality that set off alarms in Ezeiza: an old knee injury from his time at Santos Laguna has not healed 100%. Although the Colombian currently plays and performs well at Pincha, the risk of a million-dollar investment for the full transfer is too high at this time for the Xeneize management.
The Xeneize management already had the 4-year contract ready and the numbers divided: U$S 2,250,000 for Pincha and U$S 1,250,000 for Independiente Medellín for their respective percentages. But in light of the medical report, the proposal changed to a loan with an option or obligation to buy.

Cetré's transfer to Boca is in jeopardy.
For this arrangement to succeed, Estudiantes must do its part. Since Cetré's contract ends at the end of the year, the club from La Plata is obliged to renew his contract before transferring him to La Ribera. Without that prior signature in La Plata, there will be no chance of seeing him at La Ribera.
While the directors negotiate against the clock, the winger returned to practice under the orders of Eduardo Domínguez. After being absent against Riestra, he is now focused on the classic match in La Plata. However, his desire to move his football to La Boca still weighs heavily in the balance.

The Colombian returned to training with Estudiantes.
Now the ball is in Estudiantes' court. The Xeneize has already set the field: they want the player, but under these new conditions of physical and economic protection. These are decisive hours to know if the Colombian will wear the blue and gold jersey, or if the deal will fall through due to a knee that raises doubts.
