CSKA Moscow up Zenón bid, near Boca's price, Unión delighted | OneFootball

The midfielder Kevin Zenón, who emerged from Unión's youth divisions, is at the center of a negotiation that could change his future in European football. CSKA Moscow has improved its offer for the player, creating expectations that the transfer will be finalized before the Russian transfer market closes on September 11.

After an initial proposal was rejected, it seemed that Zenón would remain at Boca, the club that acquired the midfielder at the beginning of 2024 for 3.5 million dollars. However, the Russian team adjusted the numbers in their second attempt, getting closer to the demands of the xeneizes' offices.

The other interested party, Olympiacos of Greece, did not insist further after their first offer of 7 million for 80% of the pass was dismissed. Meanwhile, Unión retains 20% of Zenón's card, so any transfer below 10 million dollars would not fully satisfy the parties involved, especially considering the recent increase in the transfer tax from 7.5% to 13.06%.

Zenón's Moment at Boca

Since his arrival, Zenón had a promising start, quickly becoming a standout figure under the guidance of Diego Martínez. After his participation in the Olympic Games, his prominence in the team diminished, and with the passage of different coaches, his presence in the starting eleven became sporadic.

In the recent edition of the Club World Cup, he was a starter in two of the three matches and then was left out of calls, reinforcing his intention to emigrate. At 24 years old, the midfielder has accumulated 72 matches and 10 goals since his arrival at Boca.

Expectation in Santa Fe

Unión, as a training club, closely follows every move of the midfielder. The possibility of Zenón continuing his career in Europe generates expectation in Santa Fe, not only for the sporting recognition but also for the percentage that corresponds to them in a potential transfer.

For now, negotiations are advancing, and everything indicates that in the coming days it could be resolved whether Zenón makes the leap to the Russian Premier or remains in the Argentine Professional League.
