Neither Dybala nor Borja: Riquelme moves for Boca’s first 2026 signing | OneFootball

Juan Román Riquelme, president of Boca, is moving in the transfer market to strengthen the team for next year and has already sent an offer to secure the arrival of the first signing. It won't be Paulo Dybala, much less Miguel Borja.

The head of the Ribera team is in talks to finalize the arrival of a player he has been following for some time. It is Marino Hinestroza, the Colombian forward who plays for Atlético Nacional de Medellín.

According to information that has emerged in recent hours, Boca is optimistic about quickly closing the signing of Hinestroza, for whom they would pay a figure below 6 million dollars, a considerably lower amount than what the Verde had asked for in the previous transfer window.

Regarding Marino Hinestroza, Marcelo Delgado, the link between the management and the Boca squad, spoke out. Chelo confessed that the player was on their radar because “he is an interesting, fast, and skillful player.”

The Colombian is 23 years old and plays as a right winger, although he can also play on the left. His position, forward, is one of those Boca is most looking to strengthen for next year, when they will play the Torneo Apertura, Copa Libertadores, and Copa Argentina.

Is Riquelme making a move for Dybala?

Boca has started informal contacts to try to sign Paulo Dybala, who is at a decisive moment regarding his professional future. The Argentine forward, currently at Roma, is on track to leave the Italian club once his contract ends in June.

The possibility of an early departure in January will depend on the conversation Dybala has directly with the Roma management, as any termination before the end of his contract requires a specific agreement.

Paredes is key for Dybala to join Boca.

From Boca, the willingness is clear: the club is ready to offer him a contract as soon as his situation with Roma is resolved. However, the final decision is still in the hands of the player himself, who has not yet determined what his next career step will be.
