Boca Juniors' Zeballos Attracts Italian Offer with Potential Player Swap
Boca Juniors winger Exequiel Zeballos is poised to leave the club in mid-2026 as his contract nears expiration in December. Following a period of injury setbacks and stalled renewal negotiations, Boca's leadership has decided to facilitate an amicable departure for the player. Zeballos, who recently returned from a muscle injury, was instrumental in Boca's qualification for the Copa Libertadores under coach Claudio Ubeda, despite not currently starting matches. An official offer is expected to arrive shortly from Italian club Bologna. The negotiation structure may include a player-swap component, with Boca midfielder Benjamín Domínguez potentially joining the deal as part of the payment. Zeballos, known as 'El Chango,' has recorded 16 goals in 138 appearances since his 2020 debut. This move marks a strategic shift for Boca to manage their squad and contract obligations ahead of the next transfer window, aiming to resolve the situation elegantly after failing to secure an extension earlier in the year.
