Those words were interpreted by some of the journalists as a farewell of the footballer, who in recent months has sounded as a possible reinforcement for recognized clubs of South American football, such as Botafogo and Boca Juniors
“Well, I don't know, if so, I am advancing it, but God is the one who has the last word. If yes, I just want to apologize and thank you, if I leave, I did not want to leave like this, I wanted to go with another title. I only have to thank you,” Hinestroza replied when they asked him if what he said before was a farewell.
The Vallecaucano footballer, emerged in América de Cali, arrived in National in the middle of last year from Columbus Crew, the United States League team. Although he arrived without many reflectors, he knew how to win a place among the initialists and was the protagonist in the double of titles that the team achieved in 2024.
In his first semester with the Verdolaga shirt, in addition to lifting two trophies, he played 28 games, scored four goals and gave three assists. Already in 2025, after the Antioqueños bought part of their pass, won a Super League and said in 23 commitments, scoring four goals and giving five assists.
