What injury stopped Cetré’s move to Boca? | OneFootball

For the second time in just two weeks, a medical review of Edwuin Cetré caused his departure from Estudiantes to fall through. First, it was Athletico Paranaense that backed out of his purchase, and now it's Boca that changed the conditions and offered a loan with a purchase option. Below are the details of an old injury that seems to be resurfacing to hinder his future.

The Brazilian team did not report why they reversed their decision to buy the winger, but the decision came after clinical exams. Less than two weeks later, the Xeneize had already reached a total agreement with the Pincha and DIM (owner of 50% of his pass), but after a private medical consultation, they halted a transfer that was already set.

The injury that came to light was a meniscus operation that Cetré underwent in 2018, when he was at Santos Laguna, Mexico, at just 20 years old. Although there is no official confirmation from any of the clubs involved, this scar could be the reason why neither Boca nor Paranaense proceeded with the deal.

The fact is that from La Plata they assure that Cetré is in optimal physical condition, and as proof, they have the 86 matches he played in his two years at the club. Only a tear and a muscle strain prevented him from being available in four matches since the beginning of 2024. In other words, the Colombian always plays.

Due to this injury, Boca believes it might be risky to purchase his pass. That does not mean they have already withdrawn from the negotiation. The board led by Juan Román Riquelme offered a loan with a fee and a purchase option for the amounts previously agreed upon, and now they are waiting for a response from Estudiantes. Meanwhile, Cetré returned to training with the Pincha, and Eduardo Domínguez is evaluating whether to consider him for the classic against Gimnasia.
