Boca make progress in talks with San Lorenzo for Alexis Cuello | OneFootball

The saga between Boca and San Lorenzo over Alexis Cuello adds a new chapter in a summer transfer window as hectic as it is unpredictable. After an impasse caused by the rigid stance of the Ciclón’s interim board of directors, Xeneize managed to resume talks to buy 60% of the forward’s rights, and optimism has grown compared to a few days ago.

What seemed like a dead deal found new life at the start of the week and revived expectations on the Ribera side. There was renewed contact between the parties, and the directors agreed to move forward with direct negotiations, club to club, for the percentage of the player’s rights currently owned by San Lorenzo.

In Boedo, they are seeking at least three million dollars net for Cuello, an amount Boca came close to in an initial verbal offer, though it’s still not enough for them to let him go. In the coming days, Xeneize will submit a formal proposal with the intention of, this time, finally securing the forward who has been publicly praised by Martín Palermo.

The attacker from Isla Maciel arrived at San Lorenzo in January 2024, initially on loan from Almagro with a purchase option for 60% of his rights, which was exercised in November of that same year for a figure close to 1,050,000 dollars. He is under contract until December 2027.

Tricolor retains the remaining 40% and has already publicly stated that they want two million dollars for that share. If Boca seeks to acquire the entirety of his rights, they will have to open parallel negotiations with the Primera Nacional club.
