Could Exequiel Zeballos leave Boca? Huge offer from Russia for the striker | OneFootball

The management of the European team contacted Changuito's representatives and presented an informal offer of 9 million dollars.

Exequiel Zeballos is experiencing a marked resurgence since the second half of 2025 and has returned to his best form after a long period of ups and downs. This growth has not gone unnoticed: several foreign clubs have already set their sights on Changuito. First, there was an inquiry from Flamengo, and in recent hours, a new, more determined suitor has emerged: Spartak Moscow.

The team from the Russian capital made direct contact with the player's entourage and advanced with a verbal offer close to 9 million dollars. However, the amount was quickly dismissed as it was far from the expectations of Xeneize, who consider him a key player and the great figure of the team in the final stretch of last year.

The informal offer didn't even reach the offices of La Bombonera, as it didn't pass the player's representation filter. In the winger's circle, they are aware that Boca is not willing to part with Zeballos for a figure less than the 20 million dollars set in his release clause.

It remains to be seen if the Russians decide to move forward with a formal proposal directly to the club to try to open negotiations. For now, the numbers discussed in the initial approach are insufficient for those at La Ribera to even consider sitting down to talk.

Boca seeks to renew Exequiel Zeballos' contract

This great present, influenced by the affection from his teammates and the coaching staff, has made Zeballos feel valued again at Boca and the club has once again placed him in the spotlight he earned in his early steps.

Therefore, amid the inquiries from the powerhouses, the management led by Juan Román Riquelme is preparing a renewal offer. His contract expires in December 2026, and his release clause is 20 million dollars. The idea is to extend it for three or four more years and significantly improve his salary and clause to prevent him from being taken away in the short term.
