Estudiantes lose Medina, Botafogo deal and announcement imminent | OneFootball

El Fogao lifted the restriction that was against it and sent a pre-contract to the footballer, who in the coming hours will leave the Pincha to continue his career in Brazilian football.

After some back and forth, Cristian Medina's days at Estudiantes will finally come to an end. This is because Botafogo and the Pincha reached an agreement for the midfielder to move to Brazilian football in the coming days.

Since the beginning of the year, Botafogo has tried to secure the services of the former Boca player. However, a restriction due to a debt with Atlanta United for the transfer of Thiago Almada prevented the Brazilian team from accelerating. With that issue now resolved, Fogao decided to make another attempt and secured Medina's arrival.

Although the decision to bring the player to Brazil also responds to the interest of the investment group led by Foster Gillett - who put up 15 million dollars to pay his release clause from Boca in mid-2025 - the truth is that the Pincha will still receive some compensation, the amount of which has not yet been disclosed, for terminating the player's contract.
