Celta Vigo is in direct negotiations with Boca Juniors over the transfer of Ezequiel Zeballos. According to Tribuna.com sources, talks between the clubs have intensified in recent hours, with the financial terms of a possible deal currently being discussed. Boca is seeking to reach an agreement that would allow them to receive a transfer fee for Zeballos, particularly because the forward's current contract expires in December. The contractual situation makes the transfer a priority for Boca, as Zeballos could leave as a free agent at the end of the year if he remains at the club beyond the current transfer window. The alternative of a move to Napoli has reportedly fallen through, leaving Celta as the club making the most progress in negotiations for the attacker. Boca and Celta remain in direct contact and are confident of narrowing their differences. The main obstacle is financial, but talks are ongoing and Zeballos' future could be decided in the coming hours or days as Boca looks to avoid losing the player for nothing. Celta Vigo is currently 6th in La Liga, with 44 points, 11 wins, 11 draws and 9 losses in 31 games, with a recent form of LWLDL. They have scored 44 goals and conceded 40 in the season, with a +4 goal difference. They are 35 points behind leaders Barcelona. Their next fixture is against Athletic Club at San Mamés Stadium on February 21, 2027.
