Hinestroza skips Atlético Nacional pre-season amid Boca talks | OneFootball

The negotiation between Boca and Atlético Nacional for Marino Hinestroza is proving to be more complex than initially thought. The parties cannot agree on the terms, and the negotiation is currently at an impasse. However, through actions and posts on his social media, the player has made it clear that his intention is to play for the Xeneize. In fact, this Monday he did not show up at the Verdolaga's training center for the start of the preseason.

Despite having a contract with Atlético Nacional until December 2027, Hinestroza missed the first training session of the year. This action, which caused discontent among fans on social media, could have serious consequences ranging from disciplinary or financial sanctions to the initiation of legal actions by the club if the absences persist.

The decision of the 24-year-old winger is a clear pressure tactic towards the Verdolaga management with the aim of reducing their demands to reach an agreement with Boca. Despite the interest from some Brazilian teams, sources close to the player have assured that his decision is to play for the Xeneize, something he has repeatedly communicated to his club. The forward even bid farewell to the team on social media, so now it’s a matter of seeing who "gives in" first.

On Sunday night, Hinestroza posted a suggestive story on his Instagram account with the message: “What date is it that teams call, or did they cut me off?”, which he later accompanied with the phrase “eh, haha, stop the nonsense,” among emojis.

The post could be interpreted as a way to pressure Boca's management, who put the negotiations on hold during the first days of 2026, or it could also be directed at the Atlético Nacional officials, implying that they did not call him for the start of the preseason.

The truth is that both Boca and Hinestroza's side are confident in resolving the minor differences between the institutions and between the player himself and the Colombian team, so that sooner rather than later he can be presented as the first signing of the Xeneize. The deal would be closed for five million dollars, and the 24-year-old winger would sign his contract until December 2029.
