Napoli Close to Signing Exequiel Zeballos After Beating Rivals

Napoli are on the verge of securing Boca Juniors winger Exequiel Zeballos, according to transfer insider Nicolò Schira. The Argentine has reportedly turned down multiple other suitors — Santos, Atlanta, Vasco da Gama, and Botafogo — to make the move to Serie A. Schira states the two clubs are finalizing the deal, with Zeballos set to sign a contract through 2031 worth €1.4 million per season. The 24-year-old has been in solid form this campaign, notching one goal and three assists in 13 appearances. Zeballos becomes Napoli’s latest target to bolster their attacking options as they look to stay competitive in Italy and Europe.
