Unión on alert: Bayer Leverkusen eyeing up Kevin Zenón? | OneFootball

When it seemed that the international market had cooled down for Kevin Zenón, an old suitor returned to the scene and caught Unión's attention. In Buenos Aires, rumors began to circulate that Bayer Leverkusen would come for the player from Corrientes, who had a poor second half of the season at Boca. The Tate retains 20% of the transfer rights.

The midfielder's current situation at Boca is far from what was expected when he arrived as one of the strong bets of Riquelme's management. In the first half of the year, he had playing time, but in the second half, he lost his place under both Miguel Russo and Claudio Úbeda. Boca needs to sell, and Zenón is among those targeted.

According to reports, the German team would send an emissary to learn about the conditions and open negotiations. It wouldn't be the first time Zenón has generated interest abroad: in the last market, offers came from Olympiakos (Greece) and CSKA Moscow for 7 million dollars. Boca was willing to accept, but with one condition: not to share with Unión.

The Tate stood firm, demanded respect for their 20%, and refused to be left out of the deal. Later, they offered a compromise — to give up 10% to partner with the buyer — but Boca did not accept it either.

Today, the scenario is different. Boca needs income and will have to share with Unión if they sell Zenón, something they have never wanted to do until now. The midfielder's release clause is 15 million dollars, a challenging but not impossible figure for a European club.

Meanwhile, in Santa Fe, they watch every move with anticipation. It doesn't depend on Unión, but every rumor, meeting, and contact could mean a direct benefit for an institution that hopes, this time, that this will be the market where the offer that unlocks everything finally arrives.
