Boca close to selling Exequiel Zeballos to Napoli | OneFootball

Boca received a formal offer from Napoli for Exequiel Zeballos and would be close to accepting it. This decision by the Italian side comes in an effort to resolve a complex contract situation and would prevent the player from leaving on a free transfer.

The outlook at the blue and gold club took a major turn thanks to the Italian team stepping up to secure the services of the Santiago del Estero-born forward. Although the player’s contract with the club from La Ribera is close to expiring, the emergence of this formal offer (which had been expected) changes Boca’s board’s strategy. The coming hours will be crucial in determining the terms of the permanent transfer of the skillful striker who came through the youth ranks.

El Changuito, who won over the fans with his one-on-one ability, had been the subject of various inquiries due to his contract situation. Faced with the imminent risk of losing him without any financial return for the club’s assets, the offer, which is around 10 million dollars, comes as a relief for the board.

Exequiel Zeballos would not start the semester with the team.

Formal negotiations picked up again, and the financial offer from the club from southern Italy became known, along with the player’s own desire to make the jump to Europe. Within Boca, there was firm belief that the European market would present a viable option before the transfer window closed. The board is actively working to finalize the last details of a transfer that will shape the direction of the current squad.

The figures Boca is handling for Exequiel Zeballos

The formal offer currently under review in Boca’s offices reaches an overall figure of around 10 million dollars, including various bonuses tied to targets achieved. Representatives of the Neapolitan side want to sign the attacker immediately, speeding up the bureaucratic procedures. At the same time, the player’s agent is in Europe outlining the terms of the future contract that will tie the footballer to his new destination for 5 years.

El Changuito wants to leave in this transfer window.

The final completion of the transfer is subject to certain administrative factors that the Serie A side must resolve, mainly linked to its league’s financial controls. Despite these variables, optimism prevails on both sides, and the talks are expected to conclude favorably for the blue and gold club’s finances. For Boca, this income will mean a breath of fresh air and the assurance that another player will not leave without bringing in money, as has already happened before.
