Boca Juniors’ Move for Marino Hinestroza Stalls as Atlético Nacional Resists Terms

Boca expects the 23-year-old to report for preseason on January 3 under Claudio Úbeda pending a final agreement.

Overview

  • Sources in Medellín report there is still no formal agreement between the clubs, with Atlético Nacional rejecting three Boca offers and seeking a higher fee.
  • TN.com.ar reports Atlético Nacional has repeatedly altered clauses in documents exchanged with Boca, which has fueled frustration and slowed progress.
  • Journalist César Luis Merlo reports the deal is close at around $5 million with a four-year contract, though no announcement has been made.
  • Hinestroza posted an image showing a short-bladed knife on his bed, later removed it following criticism, and a private conversation about conduct is expected at Boca.
  • The winger has said goodbye to Atlético Nacional, rival interest such as from Santos has been noted, and his 2025 return of 56 games with 7 goals and 11 assists supports the selling club’s stance.
