Napoli is reportedly interested in 23-year-old Argentinian winger Exequiel Zeballos, whose contract at Boca is set to expire at the end of the year. While Boca is currently in discussions to extend his deal, Napoli is prepared to pursue him in the middle of the year. The club could begin negotiations at that time, and if Zeballos is in his final contract semester, they would likely aim to negotiate for a move in the following January. The player is considered one of Napoli's objectives for 2027. There have been no formal advances, but Napoli was among the first clubs to show interest in Zeballos, who will be permitted to negotiate with any team from July if he has not renewed his contract before June. The winger has 16 caps and 3 goals for Argentina's U17 team, has 1 goal and 1 assist in 3 domestic league appearances this season, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €7.00m. In addition to Napoli's interest, CSKA Moskva and Spartak Moskva have also been recently linked with the player. A reported $10 million offer from CSKA Moskva was rejected in February 2026, with Boca Juniors reportedly demanding the $20 million release clause. In January 2026, Spartak Moskva was linked with offers around €9 million when Boca's asking price was cited as at least €12 million.
