According to Olé, Monza paid a transfer fee close to $5 million for the 24-year-old Argentine forward, who had a contract with Boca Juniors until December 2026. Zeballos had been training with Boca despite not being considered for the team and had scored four goals for the club in 2026. He was a key player for Boca in the second half of 2026, but his last appearance was in a Copa Libertadores match against Universidad Católica.
Zeballos' transfer to Monza was a long time coming, with several Italian clubs interested in signing him. However, it was Monza who finally reached an agreement with Boca, with the Argentine club set to receive a 40% share of any future transfer of Zeballos. The transfer fee is reportedly close to $5 million, which is a significant amount considering that Boca would have lost Zeballos for free in three months' time.
For Zeballos, the move to Monza marks the beginning of a new chapter in his career after a long history with Boca. He rose through the club's youth ranks and became one of the team's top players, but his form declined in the second half of 2026, and he was eventually relegated to the bench.
Monza's signing of Zeballos is a significant coup for the Italian club, who will be hoping that the Argentine forward can help them achieve success in the coming seasons. With Zeballos now officially a Monza player, the club will be looking to integrate him into their squad and help him regain his form.
The next step for Zeballos will be to undergo a medical examination and complete the necessary paperwork to finalize his transfer. Once that is done, he will be eligible to play for Monza in their upcoming matches.
