As we’ve seen with previous transfers and rumours, Manchester United scouts often gravitate towards the same targets as their Liverpool counterparts. This time, it’s the Argentine star from Boca Juniors catching their eye. However, there’s a twist—both Newcastle and Tottenham are also eager to secure the services of the 23-year-old.

According to TBR Football, Liverpool have joined Manchester United in the race to sign Boca Juniors star Kevin Zenon next year.

Liverpool scouts have been present at recent Boca Juniors matches to evaluate Zenon, who is versatile enough to play in any position along the left flank. The 23-year-old is a rising star in the game and it is good to see that he has not escaped our attention.

How The Argentinian Can Help Us

Liverpool are eyeing their own version of Kevin (LOL), as the 23-year-old is capable of playing in any position on the left flank. He is anticipated to leave Boca Juniors for a more significant challenge in 2025. While Manchester United have been tracking his performances, Liverpool have now entered the fray, with their scouts keeping a close watch on the Argentine talent. Zenon has a relatively low £12.7 million release clause in his contract, meaning that a detailed Contract will be necessary to secure his signature.

Zenon has enjoyed a strong 2024 season with Boca, scoring four goals and providing seven assists in 35 appearances across all competitions. He has impressed with his exceptional dribbling skills and ability to recover the ball effectively.

Arne Slot may potentially seek variation in the midfield through a left-footer, The Argentinian may be considered for the role. However, Liverpool will face stiff competition due to the attractive price, as both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are also keen on the player, according to TBR Football.
