Boca's Offer for Serna Rejected, but Talks Continue

Boca Juniors received a rejection from Fluminense for the transfer of Colombian winger Kevin Serna. The Brazilian club deemed the offered $5 million insufficient.

The club is also actively pursuing other attacking players.


Boca's Offer for Serna Rejected, but Talks Continue

Boca received a negative response from Fluminense regarding the Colombian player Kevin Serna, after the Brazilian club considered the $5 million offer sent in recent hours to be insufficient. Despite the rejection, negotiations for the winger have not collapsed, and from Rio de Janeiro, they have expressed a willingness to continue talks, according to the Argentine News Agency. The Colombian winger is a priority for the Xeneize management after the deal for Marino Hinestroza did not materialize. Boca is also negotiating with Ángel Romero, who is seen as a concrete alternative for the attack, and with Alexis Cuello, who is in talks with San Lorenzo. Serna fits the profile sought to reinforce the offensive front and has the approval of the Football Council. However, the first formal offer did not meet Fluminense's expectations, as the club values the player at around $7 million. Boca believes that the position of the Carioca club is not definitive and that there is room for progress if the financial conditions are improved. In this context, at Brandsen 805, they are considering the possibility of increasing the offer to get closer to the amount requested by Fluminense, which remains firm in its stance, supported by the fact that the player's contract runs until December 2027. Meanwhile, the club's activities in the transfer market are not limited to Serna.
