Kevin Zenón on the way out: three clubs keen to prise 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 lined up to leave the club.

Both midfielders have drawn strong interest from several Argentine clubs, and Boca’s board 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.

The main local suitors

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

Estudiantes de La Plata: “El Pincha,” who qualified for the Copa Libertadores round of 16, is looking to bring in both players to strengthen its midfield ahead of the international competition. According to journalist Manuel Elicabe on Deportivo 1270, Boca views a move to the La Plata side favorably, considering it a strong continental showcase.

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