Alexis Cuello Transfer from San Lorenzo to Boca Juniors
San Lorenzo rejected the last offer of 3 million dollars gross for 60% of Alexis Cuello's rights, and Boca Juniors decided to withdraw from the negotiation for the player. The deal did not advance because San Lorenzo always required higher figures. Costantino stated that Cuello is staying at San Lorenzo.
According to TYC, Boca submitted a new formal offer to San Lorenzo for Alexis Cuello. The offer is for 3 million US dollars gross for 60% of the player's rights, to be paid in two installments. This amount is close to the 3 million USD net that San Lorenzo had set as a condition. A prior offer of 2.5 million USD was rejected. San Lorenzo president Sergio Costantino had previously stated in public that Alexis Cuello would remain with the club, but this was prior to the improved offer being made. The new financial terms mean San Lorenzo must now re-evaluate the situation, particularly because the sums are near what was deemed acceptable during informal talks. Boca is now awaiting an official response from San Lorenzo, and there is a 72-hour timeframe for a response. Alexis Cuello is a target for Boca's technical staff, who are looking for a forward with goal-scoring capability and experience in Argentine football.
According to TYC, San Lorenzo president Sergio Costantino affirmed that Alexis Cuello is worth his release clause of around six million dollars and assured that the forward will stay at the Boedo club. Costantino denied having had a call with Juan Román Riquelme and stated he would not meet with the Boca Juniors president after the AFA meeting. He explained that an insufficient proposal arrived, that San Lorenzo responded to it 48 hours ago, and that the possibility of a deal was not closed. Costantino stated that Cuello is training with the squad, is available to the coaching staff and stays at San Lorenzo. He also clarified that it is not about the buyer being Boca, but about protecting the club's assets.
According to TYC, Boca Juniors is in conversations for three forwards, including Alexis Cuello, as the club seeks reinforcements for coach Úbeda.
According to TYC, an agreement has been reached between Boca Juniors and Alexis Cuello, while negotiations with San Lorenzo are still ongoing. San Lorenzo is requesting three million dollars, tax-free, for 60% of Alexis Cuello's rights. The remaining 40% belong to Almagro.
Alejandro Oliva, treasurer of the Tricolor, commented on the chance of the forward joining Xeneize and revealed the interest of a foreign club. He stated that Boca made insufficient offers for Alexis Cuello. Oliva said that he does not think Boca will buy 60% of the transfer on one side and the remaining 40%, and that he imagines they will buy 100%. He added that they are waiting. The treasurer also confessed that the Tricolor did not maintain dialogue with Boca and that San Lorenzo owns both the federative and economic rights and that they are handling it.
According to TYC, there is an update on the transfer situation of Alexis Cuello, who is wanted by Boca. San Lorenzo's interim board has altered its position during negotiations and informed Boca of its intention to keep the player. The San Lorenzo board, led by Sergio Costantino, concluded discussions with the message that they will not negotiate and that Alexis Cuello will remain at the club. Previously, conversations involved San Lorenzo being open to negotiations for a minimum of three million dollars net, an amount that was higher than Boca's verbal offer. The situation's unexpected change has complicated the potential transfer. The current information indicates that San Lorenzo's position is not to sell the forward. However, due to the club's institutional context, described as delicate and changing, the possibility of talks with Boca resuming is not entirely ruled out. Boca has been persistent in their interest in Alexis Cuello.
According to TYC, Boca Juniors made a first offer to San Lorenzo for Alexis Cuello for an amount just under three million dollars for the entirety of the player's rights, and this proposal was rejected by San Lorenzo as it was far from their expectations. Alexis Cuello's contract with San Lorenzo runs until December 2027 and includes a release clause of six million dollars. The forward arrived at San Lorenzo in January 2024 on loan from Almagro with an option to buy 60% of his rights, which was executed in November 2024 for around 1,050,000 USD. Almagro still owns 30% of his rights, and Racing retains 10%.
According to TYC, an inquiry has been made for Alexis Cuello amid rumors about Boca.
San Lorenzo coach Damián Ayude referred to Alexis Cuello, who is of interest to Boca, as very complete. Ayude also stated that for him the player is untransferable and that he hopes Cuello can play the Sudamericana with them.
According to reports, San Lorenzo forward Alexis Cuello is a potential transfer target for Boca Juniors. Boca Juniors are also said to be working on signing an attacker. Information has reportedly come from within Boca that the club is in negotiations for an Argentine-born offensive player from the domestic league whose team has qualified for an international competition in 2026. Cuello, who is 25, matches this description. He is known for having two good consecutive seasons and scored 5 goals in 16 matches in the Clausura. The player being targeted is described as a significant prospect rather than a major star, and would be expected to compete for a position. A center-forward is thought to be the priority, but signing a winger has not been excluded. Ignacio Russo of Tigre has also been mentioned as a player who matches the profile.
