Why Marino Hinestroza's move to Boca is being delayed | OneFootball

When it seemed that Boca had resolved its differences with Atlético Nacional regarding the arrival of Marino Hinestroza, a new setback has now emerged and the official announcement of his arrival at the club from La Ribera has still not been made.

The arrival of Marino Hinestroza to Boca’s ranks has entered a zone of uncertainty. Although the agreement between the clubs and the player’s desire suggested that the signing was imminent, in recent hours an obstacle has arisen that has brought the operation to a screeching halt: a direct disagreement between the club from La Ribera and the player himself.

The new conflict over Marino Hinestroza

The crux of the problem lies in the contractual clauses. According to those close to the Colombian winger, Boca allegedly modified the terms of the contract that had already been previously agreed upon “verbally.” This situation has caused unrest in the player’s circle, who claim that what was initially agreed upon is not being reflected in the final documents.

The Colombian wants to play for Boca.

This difference in criteria has already led to three days of stagnation, according to journalist César Luis Merlo. During this period, meetings and cross-calls have not been enough to bring the parties close enough to seal the deal. Despite the tense atmosphere and the firmness of his representatives, there is one factor that keeps hope alive for the management led by Juan Román Riquelme: the will of Marino Hinestroza.

Sources close to the negotiation assure that the player has an unbreakable desire to wear the blue and gold jersey. It is precisely this pressure from the player to play at La Bombonera that, in principle, could end up unlocking the situation in the coming hours. “The Colombian wants to play for Boca, and that is usually stronger than any difference on paper,” they confide from the club’s corridors.

What’s missing for the official announcement?

It is expected that in the coming hours, contact will continue in an attempt to iron out those last-minute issues. If the club gives in on the disputed points or if the player accepts the new conditions to prioritize his sporting career, Hinestroza will finally be able to undergo his medical and come under the orders of the coaching staff led by Claudio Úbeda.

Hinestroza still has not been officially announced.
