Buenos Aires, January 20 (NA) – Colombian winger Marino Hinestroza broke his silence after his frustrated arrival at Boca in this transfer market following confirmation that he will play for Brazil's Vasco da Gama. According to information gathered by the Argentine News Agency, journalist Yoana Don shared on social media a conversation with the 23-year-old attacker about a supposed move to the 'xeneize' team. 'You would have been so nice,' the Atlético Nacional player replied, who is expected to be confirmed in the coming hours as the new reinforcement for the carioca team for 2026. With that phrase, Hinestroza made it clear that negotiations with the La Ribera team have ended and he will not arrive at Brandsen 805 to continue his career. In this way, the blue and gold team will prepare for the start of the Opening Tournament and the season without reinforcements, in a year in which they will also have to dispute the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Argentina. Meanwhile, Boca will face Deportivo Riestra this Sunday at La Bombonera in the premiere of the local championship, but will not be able to count on the presence of Miguel Merentiel, Milton Giménez, and Edinson Cavani, all absent due to injury. With all those absences, head coach Claudio Úbeda will have to improvise and define who will be the center forward to start against the 'Malevo'.
