Boca Juniors Reaches Deal to Sign Marino Hinestroza as First 2026 Reinforcement

The move remains pending medical clearance and paperwork, with AFA registration delayed by a full foreign-player quota.

Overview

  • Sources report a fee near $5 million for 100% of the transfer, with Atlético Nacional retaining a 20% future sell-on clause.
  • Hinestroza is expected to travel to Buenos Aires to complete a medical and sign a four-year contract once documents are finalized.
  • Reporting indicates Columbus Crew holds part of the player’s economic rights and would receive a significant share of the fee.
  • Talks stretched over months with shifting terms from Atlético Nacional, and the player’s public pressure helped unlock the agreement.
  • Boca plans to use the 23-year-old primarily as a right winger in Claudio Úbeda’s wide-oriented setup, with immediate registration on hold until a foreign slot opens.
