Unión keeping an eye out: Kevin Zenón on the radar of several heavyweights | OneFootball

Far from the field, but very close to the calculator, Unión is closely monitoring the situation surrounding Kevin Zenón. The offensive midfielder, currently at Boca, has once again become the focus of the international market, and in Santa Fe, they know that any decision could have a direct impact: the club retains 20% of a stake that is starting to gain significant value.

The clearest signal came from Europe. Porto advanced with an offer close to 12 million euros, a significant amount that, however, was not enough to change Boca's stance. At La Ribera, they believe the figure is far from the values they handle internally and rely on an exit clause that is around 15 million dollars. Additionally, the closing of the transfer window in Portugal cooled down an operation that, for now, is on hold.

For Unión, this information does not go unnoticed. Zenón was transferred at the beginning of 2024 for 3.5 million dollars for 80% of the pass, and the red-and-white club decided to keep the remaining percentage as a future investment. Today, that 20% has become a concrete expectation of income, in a context where every market movement can make a difference.

The midfielder's current football performance also plays its part. After a first year of ups and downs, the start of the new season finds him without a guaranteed spot. He is not a starter, and his participation is limited to sporadic appearances, a situation that has already caused some noise in his circle, which understands that his time at Boca might be reaching a turning point.

In this context, the markets that have always shown interest in Zenón are back on the scene. From England and Germany, they acknowledge that he remains a closely watched name, although inquiries had cooled due to the lack of continuity. Added to this is a rumor from the United States, with Inter Miami attentive to his situation, a possibility that adds appeal but has not yet moved beyond the exploratory stage.

With recent precedents—such as the offer from Hoffenheim rejected in 2024—and with a contract valid until 2028, Zenón is once again in the spotlight. In Santa Fe, Unión neither accelerates nor slows down: it waits. It knows it does not decide, but it also knows that if the market starts moving strongly again, it could find a key economic response in an operation that is being cooked far from the 15 de Abril, but is closely followed in every red-and-white office.
