Mexican club Atlas of Guadalajara and BocaJuniors continue to work intensively on negotiations for midfielder Kevin Zenón. In recent hours, talks took a key turn toward a definitive agreement for the transfer of the 25-year-old footballer to the Liga MX side, managed by Argentine coach HernánCrespo.

After several days of back and forth in which a one-season loan was being considered, the clubs made substantial progress toward structuring the deal as a permanent transfer for 100% of the midfielder’s economic rights. This decision sped up the timeline due to the Xeneize’s interest in receiving direct income and the urgency of the Guadalajara club to finalize its squad before the registration deadline in Mexico.

Given this scenario, Unión is following the outcome of the deal with great expectation and is already “rubbing its hands together.” The Santa Fe capital club retains a percentage of the player’s rights (Boca acquired 80% at the beginning of 2024, with the rest remaining in Tatengue’s hands). Consequently, a permanent sale to Mexican football would represent a direct and unexpected financial boost for the treasury of the club led by Luis Spahn.

Key details of the negotiation:

  • Final structure: A permanent transfer of the entire registration (100% of the economic rights) is being negotiated instead of a temporary loan.
  • Estimated amount: The overall talks between the clubs are heading toward being finalized at a figure close to 5 million dollars.
  • Tatengue’s interest: Since Unión owns part of the player’s transfer rights, it will immediately receive the corresponding proportional amount once Boca and Atlas formalize the transfer.
