Sweet deal: Kevin Zenón's sale to Atlas nets Unión $1.2m | OneFootball

Kevin Zenón’s transfer to Atlas of Mexico will bring a significant financial benefit to Unión. The 25-year-old midfielder from Corrientes will leave Boca Juniors permanently after a deal was finalized for $6,000,000. Since Tatengue retained 20% of his economic rights, the club will receive approximately $1,200,000 from this new transfer.

The origin of the business agreement

The left-footed midfielder who came through Tatengue’s youth system had been transferred to Xeneize in January 2024. On that occasion, the La Ribera board bought 80% of his rights for $3.5 million. After just over two years, the footballer’s career progress is once again having a positive and direct impact on the finances of the institution on Avenida López y Planes.

Loss of ground at Boca and Crespo’s call

Despite a very promising start in the Boca shirt, Zenón gradually lost prominence. His situation in the squad did not change much after RodolfoArruabarrena arrived as head coach. Given this situation, Atlas of Mexico —managed by Hernán Crespo— stepped up negotiations near the close of the transfer window to complete the permanent signing of the Santa Fe player.
