In Avellaneda, reports suggest Unión will trigger Tagliamonte’s buy option | OneFootball

Unión is experiencing a great moment in the Torneo Clausura and, at the same time, is beginning to define important matters regarding the team. One of these involves Matías Tagliamonte, a goalkeeper who has become one of the standout players for Leonardo Madelón's team, and who might permanently leave Racing.

According to sources from the Santa Fe club confirmed to Racing del Alma, the Tatengue management is seriously considering exercising the purchase option for half of the goalkeeper's rights, whose loan expires at the end of the year. “We will wait until the end of the tournament, but it is very likely that we will buy him,” they stated from Unión to this outlet.

The Arrival and Purchase Option

Tagliamonte arrived at Unión at the beginning of 2025, after regaining continuity in the Primera Nacional with Gimnasia de Mendoza. The operation included a purchase option of 500,000 dollars for 50% of the rights, plus an additional fee of 28,000 dollars.

Since his arrival, the goalkeeper has earned the starting position at Tatengue, especially in this second half of the year, where he has become a pillar of the team fighting to be among the top eight in the Clausura.

Tagliamonte's Numbers at Unión

So far this season, Tagliamonte has played in all 14 matches of the tournament and has become one of the most solid players on the team. He has conceded 13 goals and kept a clean sheet in 6 matches, establishing himself as a reliable and decisive goalkeeper for the team's campaign.

His Recent Journey

The goalkeeper has a contract with Racing until December 2027, although his continuity at the Academia became complicated after the arrival of Facundo Cambeses at the beginning of 2024. He was first loaned to Tigre, where he played 14 matches, and then moved his loan to Gimnasia de Mendoza, where he played 23 matches in the Primera Nacional.

Before these loans, Tagliamonte had played 22 matches with Racing in all competitions, conceding 20 goals and achieving two clean sheets. He was part of Fernando Gago's squad that won the Trofeo de Campeones 2022 and the Supercopa Internacional 2023.

With his sustained level at Unión and the concrete possibility of purchasing his rights, the goalkeeper is poised to continue as a key figure in the Tatengue's goal for the upcoming season.
