Viral photo of Kevin Zenón fuels rumours of Boca exit | OneFootball

Kevin Zenón has been sidelined in Miguel Ángel Russo’s plans, and a photo published in recent hours on social media, which went viral, is fueling rumors of a possible departure from Boca Juniors. The midfielder has a contract with the club for several more years, but he is seeking the playing time he isn’t getting at Xeneize.

While the squad is on break until this Wednesday, when they will reunite to begin preparing for the next match in advance, the rumors persist. Especially regarding players who are not being considered and have been relegated, such as Kevin Zenón. The midfielder, who was once one of the team’s standouts, especially under Diego Martínez’s management, is not in Miguel Ángel Russo’s plans for the matches.

The midfielder received offers to leave during this transfer window.

Zenón continues to train with the team, but is not called up by the head coach. On several occasions, he has even been left out of the substitutes’ bench. His last match was against Huracán, on July 27. That day, he played 16 minutes.

During Russo’s tenure, the midfielder played the entire match against Benfica, then started against Bayern Munich but was substituted after 59 minutes. Afterwards, he played 54 minutes against Auckland City. In domestic competition, he played 30 minutes against Argentinos, 8 minutes against Unión, and another 5 minutes vs Atlético Tucumán, the latter in the Copa Argentina. He was on the bench against Racing and Independiente Rivadavia, but did not come on.

In the photo of Kevin Zenón, published by his partner on her Instagram account, he is seen studying English. This is fueling rumors of a possible departure from Boca, as there have been offers from European football for him in recent transfer windows.

The latest offer for Zenón

Olympiacos came forward with an offer to buy the percentage that Xeneize owns. However, the management turned down this offer. The Greek team offered 7 million dollars for 80% of his rights, but it was considered insufficient. The deal would have involved such a high tax withholding that Boca would have ended up with less than half of the initial amount.

Until when is Kevin Zenón under contract with Boca?

The midfielder is tied to Xeneize until the end of 2028. It’s worth remembering that Boca acquired 80% of his rights from Unión de Santa Fe in exchange for 3.5 million dollars, plus 25% of Mauro Luna Diale’s rights.

Zenón does not have a place in Russo’s starting lineup.

Boca’s management has no intention of letting him go, but they also can’t afford to keep him on the squad without playing, as his market value would start to plummet. Currently, he is the highest-valued player on the team, with his rights valued at 9 million euros.
