Overview
- Reports say Vasco’s offer of about $6 million with favorable terms was accepted, with local outlets adding the winger will sign a multi‑year deal through December 2030.
- Boca had an informal $5 million agreement for 100% of the rights, but negotiations stalled and were not finalized before the decisive late bid arrived.
- Coverage indicates the Brazilian proposal would absorb transaction taxes and include a future‑sale clause, making it more attractive to Atlético Nacional.
- Hinestroza followed Vasco players on social media and replied to a journalist with “Qué lindo hubiera sido,” signaling the Boca move had fallen through.
- Boca now faces the opener without that reinforcement, coping with injuries to Miguel Merentiel, Edinson Cavani and Milton Giménez, elevating Lucas Janson to start and prompting the promotion of Iker Zufiaurre as fans criticized club leadership.
