Confirmed: Unión's new ban is over Paraguayan Fernando Díaz | OneFootball

Unión is facing a new transfer ban that shook the club’s landscape today. Just as expectations were growing that the sanction imposed by Juventud de Las Piedras over the transfer of Maizón Rodríguez would be lifted, after José Angulo’s debt had been paid, this new legal obstacle came as a surprise. As the hours passed, it emerged that it was linked to Paraguayan defender Fernando Díaz.

The conflict stems from missed payments to Sol de América of Paraguay for the purchase of 50% of the registration rights of the left-footed center back. The Santa Fe club had signed the player at the end of June 2025 on a contract running through December 2028; however, he never played any minutes for the team in the top division and ended up being loaned to Nacional (Paraguay) at the beginning of this year by decision of the coach.

The original debt was incurred when the Paraguayan club was managed by Cristian Bragarnik. Currently, the new leadership of Sol de América, headed by Oscar Hernán Acosta, is demanding payment of the overdue documents and triggered the sanction before FIFA just hours before the debut of Leo Madelón’s side against Platense in Vicente López.
