Boca open talks with Zeballos as European clubs show interest | OneFootball

While the main focus of the Boca world is on the expansion of La Bombonera and the questioned present of the team led by Claudio Úbeda, a new and important issue is beginning to appear on the horizon: Exequiel Zeballos’ contract expires at the end of the year.

Although he is currently recovering from a muscle tear, Changuito had a phenomenal end to the 2025 season that sparked the interest of several European teams, including Napoli, which is reportedly willing to pursue him mid-year, according to Italian media.

Although Xeneize has not made a formal offer yet, talks have already begun with the player and his representative with the intention of doing so in the coming days and resolving this matter before it’s too late. It’s worth noting that the management has a good relationship with the agent and they are confident he will not leave on a free transfer.

Although he did not specifically address this issue, Zeballos recorded a short video before the draw in which he was asked to define the Copa Libertadores. Concise, the number seven described it as “an obsession.”

He also recalled the sting of missing the final at the Maracanã in 2023, which could be an indication of his intention to have another opportunity in 2026.
