Fluminense’s decision could bring Kevin Serna closer to Boca | OneFootball

In the last few hours, the Brazilian team announced the signing of Jefferson Savarino, a Venezuelan winger coming from Botafogo. Meanwhile, the Xeneize is considering making a new offer for the Colombian.

Author of a double for Fluminense's victory over Nova Iguaçu, Kevin Serna is one of the main targets for Boca after the failed arrival of Marino Hinestroza. Despite the first offer being rejected and the player being important to his team, the Xeneize management remains optimistic, and a recent development could shift the scenario in their favor: the Tricolor signed Jefferson Savarino, another high-caliber winger.

Before the mentioned match in the Carioca Championship, the Brazilian club confirmed the arrival of the 29-year-old Venezuelan, who comes from Botafogo. With proven quality and decisive in winning the 2024 Copa Libertadores, this change of scenery could also open the exit door for the Colombian.

Although the last contact ended with Flu's refusal to let him go for 5 million dollars, Boca has already progressed in the numbers of the probable contract with the player and is preparing a new offer to try to meet the demands of the counterpart.

Juan Román Riquelme's optimism is supported not only by Savarino's arrival but also by the fact that Serna's own agent traveled to Brazil to facilitate his departure from Fluminense. Of course, this doesn't mean everything is set for his arrival at Xeneize, but it is a first step that brings hope in La Ribera. The stance of coach Luis Zubeldía will be crucial in determining his future.

Currently recovering from an angioplasty, the coach is being replaced on the bench by his assistant, Maximiliano Cuberas. After the match, he spoke about Serna and said: “We are very happy with him. In most games, he has played because he has maintained a level. We consider him a very important player for the squad, so that the young players who have joined along with the new signings can be at their best. We consider him very important for us”.

After his double last night against Nova Iguaçu, Serna spoke to the Brazilian press and avoided referencing his future. In fact, he seemed very focused on his present at Fluminense and the goals ahead. “The most important thing is that the team won to gain confidence for Sunday's match”
