Exequiel Zeballos leaves Boca Juniors for Monza in $5.8m sale with 40% sell-on clause | OneFootball

Boca Juniors have sold Exequiel Zeballos to Monza for about $5.8m, retaining a 40% sell-on clause. According to LaNumer12.com.ar, the agreement ends weeks of negotiations and takes the winger to Serie A.

Napoli and Parma explored a move, but Monza accelerated to strike the definitive deal. The package includes performance-related bonuses.

Zeballos was out of contract on 31 December this year, so Boca prioritised a fee rather than risk losing him for nothing. The club receives immediate income for 100% of his registration.

By keeping a sell-on tied to any future profit, Boca have protected potential upside if the forward establishes himself in European football.

The board remain active in the market and can still add one more player in this window. They have until 2 September, with a further 10 days available due to Tomás Aranda's injury.
