Attention Unión: CSKA Moscow drop interest in Kevin Zenón, he stays at Boca | OneFootball

CSKA Moscow missed the chance to add Kevin Zenón after negotiations with Boca were delayed. What did Unión lose?

The international market closed a door that Unión was closely watching. CSKA Moscow, which had shown interest in acquiring Kevin Zenón, decided to change its recruitment policy and signed the Brazilian Henrique Carmo, a gem just 18 years old from São Paulo. The Russian club's decision nullified the negotiations with Boca and, consequently, deprived Tatengue of a possible gain from the training rights and the percentage of the player's card they still hold.

Boca extended negotiations to the end

During the last few weeks, Zenón's name was strongly mentioned in Russia. Even from La Ribera, they acknowledged that CSKA's offer had improved compared to the initial one and that a transfer was not ruled out.

However, the deal fell through after the emergence of the young Brazilian, which closed the possibility of a transfer that had gained momentum.

For Unión, the news represents an economic blow, as they were hopeful of receiving fresh funds from a potential million-dollar sale.

The Santa Fe club, which had transferred Zenón at the beginning of 2024, was hoping for an extra profit, considering that Boca was asking for no less than ten million dollars to part with the midfielder. It is worth remembering that Tate holds 20% of his card.

Zenón's moment at Boca

Currently, the midfielder is going through a complex period at Xeneize. After a promising start, his level dropped after the Olympic Games, and today he is sidelined by Miguel Ángel Russo, out of the latest call-ups.

His last appearance was in the defeat against Huracán in Parque Patricios, and since then he hasn't added any minutes, even though he was called up for the victory against Aldosivi, he didn't see any action.

Kevin Zenón, 24 years old, has played 72 matches wearing Boca's jersey, scoring 10 goals. Although the immediate future seems to remain tied to the club from La Ribera, the chance of an international transfer remains alive. For now, Unión will have to wait for another opportunity for the transfer of the player from Corrientes to bring benefits to their coffers.
