Atlético Nacional seeks to improve its image with new faces. With the second semester of 2025 on the horizon, the Antioquia club adjusts its pieces to face the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores and fight until the end in the Betplay II League. Between renovations, assignments and signings, there is a name that shines strongly in the reinforcement folder: Kevin Serna.
The Colombian end, today in the Fluminense of Brazil, sees with good eyes return to the country to dress green. It is not a secret that Nacional looks for players who make a difference, and Serna, who came to dispute the Club World Cup with the 'Flu', meets that profile. However, negotiation is not simple.
Sebastián Arango, president of Nacional, said it clearly in Win Sports: “Kevin Serna is a name that we love. Both he and we have expressed the interest of having it in Atlético Nacional.” The will exists, but they come to play economic factors that can stop the operation.
Fluminense has a wide and Serna template is not a priority for Renato Gaúcho, his coach. This opens the door for an exit, although the salary he receives in Brazil complicates the accounts of any Colombian club. In that sense, Nacional studies the formula of a loan with a purchase option, as he did successfully in the case of Jorman Campuzano, assigned by Boca Juniors.
The journalist Julián Capera confirmed that not only Nacional has asked for Serna; There are also other interested Colombian teams. However, the extreme seems determined to fulfill its desire to defend the 'Verlaga' shirt.
Movements in the green template
Meanwhile, Nacional also managed to retain two key pieces: Marino Hnestroza and Jorman Campuzano. Despite offers from abroad, the club prioritized maintaining the basis to continue with aspirations in Libertadores. In Arango's words, “we have this semester, we need it for the league target and continue advancing in Copa Libertadores.”
Regarding Campuzano, conversations with Boca Juniors are aimed at the midfielder joined next week to training in Medellín.
A day after the debut against Once Caldas, Nacional wants to present a competitive template. The possible arrival of Kevin Serna would not only reinforce the attack, but would send a clear message: the club is determined to be the protagonist in the continent.
