20 bounced cheques to Unión players spark crisis over unpaid bonuses | OneFootball

The leadership headed by Luis Spahn is in the eye of the storm after massive financial breaches involving the players came to light, shortly after a multimillion-dollar transfer window.

The economic crisis seems to be adding a new and complex chapter. In recent hours, it emerged that the institution has more than 20 bounced checks issued to members of the professional squad, which sparked some unrest within the team.

As confirmed to Radio Gol, the rejected payments correspond to overdue bonuses that the board of directors had formally committed to paying off.

Million-dollar income that was not enough

What is most surprising in the Red-and-White world is the current financial context. The institution’s delicate economic situation seemed to have reached an endpoint after a recent exodus of players that brought the club significant net sums of money.

Among the most notable departures of the last transfer window were the transfers of Mateo Del Blanco to French football, Rafael Profini to Ukraine, and midfielder Mauro Pittón to Spain. These sales meant an injection of foreign currency that was about to be credited to the treasury’s coffers, leading many to assume that the squad’s outstanding debts would be fully settled. However, the lack of funds backing the checks that were issued shows that the money was not used to cover those commitments.
