Marino Hinestroza Nears Boca Juniors Move, Spotlight Falls on His Cali Jewelry Business

Local reports say the 23-year-old winger is close to signing, though there has been no official announcement.

Overview

  • Argentine outlets describe Hinestroza as a step away from becoming Boca Juniors’ first signing of the window, with final details reportedly pending.
  • Hinestroza posted an Instagram story with blue and yellow hearts and an hourglass, a message widely read as a hint toward Boca.
  • He owns La Favela 18k, a jewelry shop in a Cali shopping center that features 18K gold pieces including chains, bracelets, earrings and charms.
  • The store sells online with domestic and international shipping, advertises a lifetime guarantee, and has quickly gained thousands of social-media followers.
  • In December the shop promoted a raffle for an Atlético Nacional jersey, as the player—formerly of Orsomarso, América de Cali, Pachuca and Columbus Crew—also takes part in selecting and promoting the pieces.
