São Paulo FC Targets Boca Juniors’ Midfielder Kevin Zenon for Reinforcement

Amidst Internal Turmoil, São Paulo Eyes Argentine Midfielder

Battling through internal strife and an ongoing investigation against its president, São Paulo FC is actively looking to strengthen its squad, with an eye on Argentine midfielder Kevin Zenon from Boca Juniors. The 24-year-old has struggled for playing time at the ‘Rey de las Americas’ and has represented Argentina at the international level.

Crespo’s Influence and Zenon’s Versatility

Hernan Crespo, São Paulo’s coach, has expressed his interest in Zenon, recognizing the player’s youth and versatility. Zenon can play in various positions, both as a midfielder and as a full-back, lending valuable adaptability to the São Paulo squad.

“Zenón can be a number 10, commanding the sector and making long throws. He can also be a playmaking midfielder, building attacking plays and getting closer to Calleri, Luciano and Lucas.”

The economic rights of the midfielder are valued at approximately €5.5 million (R$34.5 million), with Alavés, a Spanish first division team, also expressing interest in the player.
