Exequiel Zeballos, the versatile 24-year-old Boca Juniors striker, may be in jeopardy of losing his place in the Argentine club's lineup as Napoli and Celta Vigo show interest in signing him. The young talent can adapt to play on the right wing, left, or as a centre-forward, making him a valuable asset to any team.
Reports indicate that Celta Vigo sent medical personnel to Argentina to conduct tests on Zeballos, suggesting a strong bid for the player. Napoli, however, faces two significant hurdles in trying to secure his transfer: they must first make other sales to raise funds, and Boca Juniors are seeking over €10 million for his services.
The situation dragged on for over a month, with Zeballos growing impatient with Napoli's lack of progress. While previous transfers, such as Romelu Lukaku's move to Fenerbahce for €6 million plus add-ons, do not compare to the potential value of Zeballos, it appears Napoli may be struggling to meet Boca Juniors' demands for his signature.
