Overview
- Zeballos asked to leave Boca and was removed from first-team practices by coach Rodolfo Arruabarrena, with the club notifying him he will not be considered while a transfer is sought.
- The player did not respond to a renewal offer from Boca earlier this year, and that silence increased pressure on the club to find a resolution.
- Zeballos’ agent delivered an offer from Napoli that has not been made public, and Boca leaders led by Román Riquelme have agreed the player should train separately pending a deal.
- Club officials say three outcomes remain possible: a sale this window, a renewed contract and return to the team, or a strained stay without extension.
- The Argentine registration window closes on July 21 and Boca can complete an international outgoing transfer with replacement signings through September 2, timing that will shape whether Zeballos leaves this summer.
