Boca could walk away from Alexis Cuello deal amid San Lorenzo dispute | OneFootball

Boca Juniors could walk away from a move for Alexis Cuello after negotiations with San Lorenzo hit a critical point. The deal, once on track, has stalled amid friction between the clubs.

According to LaNumer12.com.ar, Boca sent an email offer late last night to the Boedo offices, copying the player's representative. The proposal was 2.5 million dollars gross for 60% of the forward's rights.

San Lorenzo do not want to sell the player to Boca. After the club's most recent match, president Sergio Constantino stated publicly that no official notice had been received, a claim that angered Boca in Ezeiza, where they insist they hold proof of delivery.

Boca view the silence as either a lack of will to negotiate or a stalling tactic, and have set a firm deadline. If there is no formal response shortly, they will withdraw the offer. The club already has an alternative lined up and would immediately pursue another attacker with whom talks have already been held.

The mood at La Bombonera is pessimistic. The belief is that San Lorenzo have no intention of selling, or not on these terms, and public comments are being used to cool the deal. If there is no call acknowledging the offer and restarting dialogue in the coming hours, his future will be away from Boca this semester.
