Boca Juniors is gearing up for a busy transfer window in 2025, with teh club’s leadership actively seeking reinforcements to bolster their competitive edge. Though, they also anticipate receiving offers for some of their key players. As the preseason approaches, one name has emerged as a target for Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami CF.
Journalist Martín Costa, speaking on Radio Continental, revealed that Inter Miami has expressed interest in acquiring Kevin Zenón. Costa stated, ”Mascherano had him in the olympic games, and in Miami, there’s talk that they could pursue Kevin Zenón for the upcoming season.”
Adding further details, Costa noted that the coaching staff at Boca Juniors is currently unaware of the situation and is awaiting developments.He mentioned that Zenón had previously requested a contract extension and expressed his desire to remain with the club for an additional six months earlier in the year.
Zenón’s impressive performances throughout the season, including his standout contributions to the Argentine National Team at the olympic Games, have attracted attention from several clubs. While Inter Miami appears to be a frontrunner,another prominent European club,Inter Milan,is also reportedly keeping tabs on the talented midfielder. According to Italian sports publication ‘La Gazzetta dello Sport’, Inter Milan’s sporting director, Darío Baccin, has identified zenón as a potential target.Zenón’s impressive form has not gone unnoticed. In fact, German Bundesliga side Hoffenheim submitted a formal offer of €18 million for the midfielder earlier this year. This offer exceeded Zenón’s €15 million release clause. However, Boca Juniors rejected the bid, with Zenón himself expressing his desire to remain with the club for at least another six months.
As joining Boca Juniors at the beginning of the year,Zenón has become an integral part of the team.

Zenón has made 45 appearances for Boca juniors, scoring six goals and providing seven assists, showcasing his versatility and impact on the field.

Zenón to Miami? Former boca Juniors Star Discusses the Latest Transfer Rumors
Welcome back, football fans, to another edition of “Inside the Pitch”! Today we have a very special guest, former Boca Juniors midfield maestro, Claudio “El Principe” Borghi, joining us to dissect the latest transfer rumors swirling around Kevin Zenón.
Thanks for having me. It’s always a pleasure to discuss Argentine football.
Claudio, let’s dive right in. The young Zenón, who exploded onto the scene last season, has caught the eye of several European clubs, including Inter Milan, but the recent news linking him with a move to Inter Miami CF is notably interesting. what are yoru thoughts on this potential move?
Well, it’s no surprise that clubs both in Europe and MLS are vying for Zenón’s signature. The kid is a phenomenal talent. He’s got that spark, that vision on the pitch, reminds me a bit of myself in my younger days! But leaving Boca Juniors for MLS at this stage of his career? I’m not so sure.
you think he should stay in Argentina and continue to develop?
Exactly. He’s just blossoming at Boca. Another season or two under Gago’s guidance could see him reach another level. MLS is a growing league, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t have the same intensity, the same pressure as European football.
There was talk earlier this year about Hoffenheim offering €18 million for Zenón. Boca rejected the bid,which,to be honest,was surprising considering it surpassed his release clause. Does that mean Boca are resolute to hold onto him?
I believe so. Boca Juniors is a club that understands the value of nurturing young talent. They know Zenón has the potential to become a superstar, and they’re probably hoping to build a team around him.
But what about Zenón’s ambitions? He’s a young player, and surely, a move to a league like MLS, where he could be a star attraction, could be tempting?
Of course, it’s always tempting when you see your name linked with big clubs. But for a player like Zenón, who’s clearly got European ambitions, a move to MLS could be a step sideways rather than a step forward.
You make a good point. At the same time, Inter Miami isn’t just any MLS team. They’re backed by David Beckham and have a clear vision to attract top talent. They’ve also shown they’re willing to spend money to bring in quality players.Do you think Zenón might be tempted by this project?
Well, that’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? David Beckham’s influence shouldn’t be underestimated. He’s a global icon and knows a thing or two about building a successful team. inter Miami is certainly an exciting project. However, ultimately, I believe the decision comes down to Zenón.Where does he see himself in five years? Does he want to play in a young,aspiring league or test himself against the best in Europe?
What advice would you give him as a former Boca Juniors great?
Follow your heart,Kevin.
But don’t rush into anything. Take your time, weigh your options carefully, and make the decision that’s best for your career.
