Atlético Nacional eye Kevin Serna move: what’s Fluminense’s stance? | OneFootball

Atlético Nacional continues with the reassembly of the squad, on the verge of starting the competition for the Liga Betplay 2025-II, visiting Once Caldas in Manizales.

While the continuity of figures such as Jorman Campuzano and Marino Hinestroza has already been secured, Verdolaga is also looking for key reinforcements.

Negotiations are open with Fluminense for winger Kevin Serna to join Javier Gandolfi's team. But it may not be that simple.

According to information from Pipe Sierra, "it is the most important signing that Verdolaga is waiting for."

Without going into financial details...

Although Sierra clarifies that the player has given the green light and would love to play in Colombia, the critical point of the negotiation is that Fluminense demands as a condition, for a loan with an option to buy, that Nacional covers the entirety of the player's salary, a presumably high figure for the average of Colombian football.

Nacional could study this aspect and advance in the negotiation, although on the other hand, there has also been mentioned an interest from an Arab team in Kevin Serna, 27 years old, who in the last season of Fluminense added 54 appearances, with 10 goals and 4 assists. If so, interest from Arabia can interfere in the negotiation unfavorably for the green team.

Meanwhile, the president of Atlético Nacional, Sebastián Arango, spoke with Win Sports this Thursday, and responded about the possibility of Kevin Serna arriving:

"Kevin Serna is a name that we love. Both he and we have expressed interest in having him at Atlético Nacional. It depends on several factors and there is no need to go into financial details, but it's on the table. When there is more progress we will continue to inform" he expressed.
