Zabala Expresses Gratitude as Olimpia Discusses Sale


Facundo Zabala took to social media with a heartfelt message following his participation in the FIFA Club World Cup with Al Ain. The Argentine defender, who shared the locker room with fellow Paraguayans Alejandro Romero Gamarra and Matías Segovia, expressed his deep gratitude for the opportunity to compete on such a prestigious stage and for the unwavering support of those around him.
Despite Al Ain’s disappointing results—losing two matches by large margins and exiting the tournament early—Zabala was one of the team’s standout performers. He logged 242 minutes across three games, demonstrating consistency and skill that caught the attention of clubs back home.
According to sports media reports, Olimpia president Rodrigo ‘Coto’ Nogués is currently negotiating with the Emirati club to seal a permanent move. The proposed transfer fee is estimated to be around $4 million, a figure that underscores the club’s high regard for the defender’s abilities.
