Not Napoli or Parma: Boca sell Zeballos to Monza | OneFootball

Boca’s transfer market took a definitive turn after the sale of Exequiel Zeballos to Italy’s Monza was confirmed for a fee close to 6 million dollars. After intense negotiations involving several interested Serie A clubs, the board finalized the transfer while retaining a 40% sell-on profit clause.

After several weeks of speculation regarding the future of the winger developed in the Xeneize academy, the attacker’s destination will finally be Serie A. Although renowned clubs such as Napoli and Parma explored the conditions to secure his services, it was the team from northern Italy that made a concrete push to seal the deal.

The total transfer fee amounts to 5,800,000 dollars — equivalent to around 5 million euros — through the inclusion of various performance-related bonuses. For the blue and gold institution, the deal represents a significant immediate cash inflow for 100 percent of the talented forward’s rights.

One of the key aspects of the negotiation was the player’s imminent contract expiration, originally set for December 31 of this year. Faced with the real possibility of the attacker leaving on a free transfer without generating any financial compensation, Boca’s board chose to secure a deal favorable to the club’s finances.

Beyond the fixed fee received, the Xeneize managed to protect valuable future assets by keeping a 40% sell-on profit clause on any future transfer. This clause will allow the club from La Ribera to collect considerable dividends if the attacker manages to establish himself in the highly competitive European game.

As for the squad, the board remains active in the transfer market with the possibility of signing another player in this window. The Xeneize have until September 2, and in addition, they will get another slot 10 days after that date due to Tomás Aranda’s injury.
