Alarms at Boca: the tempting offer from Brazilian soccer that threatens Hinestroza's arrival

The negotiation that Boca believed was on track for Marino Hinestroza took an unexpected turn in recent hours. After months of back and forth and when the outcome seemed close, Atlético Nacional's winger might not arrive in Argentina and could continue his career in Brazil, enticed by an offer from Vasco da Gama.

Xeneize had submitted an offer of 5 million dollars for 80% of the player's transfer rights, leaving 20% of any future capital gain in favor of the Colombian club. However, although the agreement was advanced, Hinestroza didn't travel to Buenos Aires as planned and the deal entered a phase of complete uncertainty.

In that context, Vasco da Gama emerged. The Rio de Janeiro club, managed by Fernando Diniz, submitted an offer of 6 million dollars for the 23-year-old forward's registration. This amount exceeds the one offered by Boca and adds a key point: assuming all taxes derived from the transfer, a detail that ultimately convinced Verdolaga.

From Medellín, officials accepted both offers and left the final decision in the player's hands. Thus, Hinestroza's future remains open between two possible destinations: Argentine soccer or Brazilian soccer. On the scale, salary, the sporting project, and the forward's personal preference will carry weight.

Meanwhile, caution is growing at Boca. A saga that seemed close to its end has been rewritten and threatens to have a conclusion far from La Bombonera.

Hinestroza's numbers at Atlético Nacional

In addition, he celebrated titles on four occasions: one Liga Betplay (2024), one Supercopa de Colombia (2025), and two Copa Colombia (2024 and 2025).
