Boca Confirms Hinestroza, Rejects Spartak’s Bid for Zeballos, Moves on Vélez Prospect Carrizo

The club is retooling its wings and intends to deter exits by preparing a new contract that lifts Exequiel Zeballos’ release clause.

Overview

  • Boca finalized the signing of Colombian winger Marino Hinestroza for about $5 million for 100% of his rights, with Atlético Nacional retaining a 20% sell-on.
  • An informal offer near $9 million from Spartak Moscow for Exequiel Zeballos was dismissed as far below expectations, with Boca pointing to his $20 million clause.
  • Boca is preparing a renewal proposal for Zeballos, whose deal runs to December 2026, to extend terms and raise the clause in response to outside interest.
  • After Maher Carrizo declined River’s move estimated at $6–6.5 million for 50% of his rights, Boca asked Vélez for conditions to pursue the 19-year-old winger.
  • Carrizo prefers a European transfer and has a Vélez contract to December 2027 with a reported $16 million clause, with Feyenoord and Benfica having made inquiries.
