Unión keep an eye on talks: Alavés bid $9m for full rights to Zenón | OneFootball

Deportivo Alavés, the team managed by "Chacho" Coudet, is back in pursuit of Kevin Zenón. After an initial offer was rejected a few days ago, the Spanish club is persistent and plans to present a new formal proposal to the Boca Juniors management to try to finalize the transfer of the midfielder.

Alavés' offer consists of an 18-month loan, with a fee of one million dollars for the initial loan, an amount that meets the expectations of the "Xeneize". However, the negotiation is stalled on two key points that need to be resolved to reach a definitive agreement:

Obligation or option to buy: Alavés wants the purchase option for the player, who emerged from the youth divisions of Unión de Santa Fe, to be optional. Boca, on the other hand, demands that it be mandatory.

Percentage of the transfer: Boca owns 80% of the player's rights and seeks to part with the entirety of his transfer. The Spanish club intends to acquire 100%, but the remaining 20% belongs to Unión, so the parties must agree on how to manage that portion.

If both clubs can iron out these differences, the deal could be finalized for a total value of 9 million dollars (including the one million for the initial loan fee and an additional 8 million dollars if the definitive purchase is exercised, equivalent to 7 million euros).

As for the player, although initially the possibility of moving abroad did not appeal to him, Zenón has changed his mind and is now willing to make the leap to European football and have his first experience on the old continent. It is worth noting that a few days ago he was also approached by São Paulo of Brazil, but the negotiations did not progress.
