The stint of Franco Ratotti in Chile, playing on loan at Unión Española, came to an end after the team's relegation in the 2025 season. Due to a recall clause, he must return to Unión to report on January 2nd, although it is likely that he will be loaned out again.

Career and Statistics in Chile

During his time in Chile, Ratotti made a good impression with his intensity and performance, earning praise from the coaching staff and the local press. Although the team was relegated, his individual performance generated interest from other Chilean clubs and even inquiries from Chinese football.

Immediate Future

Despite the inquiries, Unión has rejected various alternatives for the moment. The player needs continuity and exposure, so his future seems likely to be away from Santa Fe again, probably on another loan, as it appears he will not be considered for the main squad for now. Unión Española has shown interest in retaining him, but they are awaiting a decision from Unión.
