Overview
- Multiple outlets report Boca will acquire 100% of Hinestroza’s rights for about $5 million, with Columbus Crew credited for roughly half the fee due to its stake in the player.
- Hinestroza is expected to travel to Buenos Aires to complete a medical and sign a four-season contract once the paperwork is finalized.
- Formal AFA registration remains pending because Boca’s foreign-player quota is currently full, though a private contract and training integration are possible after the medical.
- The deal follows protracted talks that included public messages from the player, disputes with Atlético Nacional’s leadership, and a period of individual training.
- Boca targeted Hinestroza for his pace and one-on-one ability on the wing, fitting Claudio Úbeda’s plan to add wide attackers and marking the first signing of his tenure.
