What seemed to be an imminent jump to Argentine football has become a contractual dilemma for Marino Hinestroza. Although the Colombian winger already had one foot on the plane to join the ranks of Boca Juniors, the operation is currently at a standstill due to last-minute discrepancies in the terms of the link.

The turn of Boca Juniors

Sources close to the negotiation indicate that the Boca Juniors Football Council would have modified the salary conditions and performance clauses that had initially been agreed verbally. This change of position on the part of the “Xeneize” leadership was not well received by the player’s environment, which considers that the new demands do not correspond to what was discussed in the early stages of the negotiation.

The lack of an official signature from the Argentine team has generated discomfort, since the player had already given the conditional “yes” to the original proposal, which included a projection of minutes and economic stability that now seems to be in doubt.

Atlético Nacional, on the lookout and with a firm step

In contrast to the situation in Argentina, the panorama with Atlético Nacional is radically different. In the environment of the “purslane” team they assure that everything is firm. The Paisa club has maintained a coherent offer and has respected the agreements reached with the footballer’s representative.

State with Boca: Negotiation stalled due to unilateral changes to the contract.

State with National: Oral agreement and contractual conditions ratified.

What’s next for Marino Hinestroza?

The player is at a crossroads: wait for Boca Juniors to resume the initial offer or give final closure to his relationship with the Argentine team to sign his signature with Atlético Nacional. The transfer market is entering a definition stage and time is in favor of the Colombian club, which hopes to present the winger in the coming days if the situation with “Xeneize” does not unravel.

For now, Hinestroza continues training in a differentiated manner while his work team tries to resolve the contractual knot in Buenos Aires.
