Kevin Zenón, on the way out: the three clubs keen to lure him from Boca | OneFootball

Boca Juniors’ football restructuring is already underway. Juan Román Riquelme formally notified Claudio Úbeda that his contract as head coach will not be renewed once it expires this June. This change in direction will be accompanied by a major squad overhaul in the upcoming transfer window, with Kevin Zenón and Tomás Belmonte emerging as the first names expected to leave the club.

Both midfielders have drawn strong interest from several Argentine football clubs, and the Boca hierarchy is fully willing to negotiate their departures. At the moment, within the squad, midfielder Leandro Paredes is the only player considered “untouchable,” for whom the Football Council will not accept any kind of financial offer.

Main local suitors

The group of clubs hoping to sign Boca’s players is made up of three Liga Profesional sides, though each is in a different situation:

Estudiantes de La Plata: “El Pincha,” who secured qualification for the Copa Libertadores round of 16, want to sign both players to strengthen their midfield ahead of the international competition. According to journalist Manuel Elicabe on Deportivo 1270, Boca is open to sending them to the La Plata side, seeing it as a great continental showcase.

So far, none of the interested clubs has submitted a formal financial offer to the Bombonera offices. The immediate future and final destination of both players will be decided in the coming weeks and will depend on the view of the new head coach who takes charge of the team.
