Kevin Zenón’s future decided | OneFootball

After weeks of speculation, Olympiacos has finally decided to step away from Kevin Zenón. The Greek club had him on their radar as a primary target to strengthen the midfield, but in the last few hours, they backed off. This effectively closes the door on any negotiation for the talented Boca Juniors midfielder.

The first offer presented was around 7 million dollars for 80% of his pass, but Boca was not satisfied. The operation would imply such a high tax retention that it would leave Xeneize with less than half of the initial amount. Therefore, the board rejected the offer for Kevin Zenón without hesitation. The contractual situation of the midfielder means that there is currently no rush to resolve his future, despite his desire to move abroad. The former Unión player has a contract until the end of 2028 with the club from La Ribera.

The midfielder was in Olympiacos' plans.

With interest in the Boca player dissipated, Olympiacos redirects its attention towards Santino Andino, a star at Godoy Cruz. In this way, Miguel Ángel Russo will be able to count on the midfielder for a while longer. However, for the time being, he is not considered a starter and has lost some ground with the progression of the matches in the midfield that the coach is building.

Kevin Zenón lost ground in consideration

The good level shown by Brian Aguirre, means that the native of Goya is somewhat relegated in the Xeneize strategist's consideration. In the last match, "Miguelo" opted to put the former Newell's on the right wing and Carlos Palacios on the left. It is likely that for the next match, against Banfield, the coach will remove the Chilean because he was not convinced by his level and with that a chance could open up for the midfielder. However, there is another teammate who has an advantage over him.

Russo defines the formation against Banfield.

Alan Velasco could take Palacios' place and if confirmed, Zenón will have to wait for an opportunity from the substitutes' bench. It should be remembered that Boca hosts Banfield this Sunday at 18:15 hours at La Bombonera for the sixth date of the Clausura Tournament 2025.
