Lazio Keeping Close Tabs on ‘Magical’ Argentine Linked to Newcastle United | OneFootball

Reports from Argentina claim Lazio are following Boca Juniors winger Kevin Zenon who has been making waves in his home country this season.

The Background

The 23-year-old climbed the ranks at Union Santa Fe, before being snapped up by Boca Juniors in January 2024 for €3.2 million. Since then, he has established himself as a regular starter with the South American giants. This season, he has made 12 appearances in all competitions thus far, scoring two goals in the process.

Lazio Tracking Boco Junior’ Kevin Zenon

According to Boca Noticias (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), the Biancocelesti have identified Zenon as a potential addition to their ranks. Lazio president Claudio Lotito and sporting director Angelo Fabiani have been on a mission to revitalize the squad by poaching lesser-known profiles with the potential of emerging as major stars, so the Argentine could fit the bill.

Contract Length & Release Clause

The Argentina U23 starlet is tied to the Buenos Aires giants with a contract valid until December 2028. However, his suitors can activate his release clause by paying €15 million.

Newcastle United Interest

In previous months, Zenon was linked with a move to Newcastle United who were impressed with his skillset, which includes a ‘magical’ left foot. The Goya native has been primarily deployed as a central midfielder this season, but he originally plays on the wing, mostly on the left side.
