Exclusive on Unión squad: Gamba and Corvalán closer to leaving than staying | OneFootball

The Unión squad will embark on its final week before the holidays, and the future of Lucas Gamba and Claudio Corvalán will be decided.

A crucial week has begun to determine the fate of two key figures who marked an era at the club: Lucas Gamba and Claudio Corvalán. Both are experiencing similar situations, as Mugre (Corvalán) barely played this semester, and although Gamba started out as a protagonist, he lost his place in the team over time. That is why both are considering the possibility of leaving Unión in this transfer window.

As for Lucas Gamba, his case is sparking internal debate. Since the arrival of Leonardo Madelón, the striker from Mendoza regained prominence, started as a regular, and had continuity in the early stages. However, as the matches went by, he lost ground and eventually became the coach’s fifth offensive option. His stats reflect his contribution: Apertura Tournament: 16 matches, 4 goals, and 2 assists (929 minutes); Clausura Tournament: 12 matches, 482 minutes; Copa Sudamericana: 6 appearances, 1 goal (365 minutes); Copa Argentina: 3 matches, 1 assist (161 minutes). He was not present in the playoffs against Gimnasia.

Gamba’s contract expires on December 31, and the decision will fall to Madelón. The striker is considered the only one with different characteristics from the rest of the squad, but his departure is a real possibility.

In contrast, the outlook for Claudio Corvalán is much more complex. The defender went from being captain and a key player to being completely sidelined by Madelón’s decision. His stats reflect his limited involvement: Sudamericana: 5 matches, 381 minutes; Apertura: 12 matches, 990 minutes; Clausura: 2 appearances off the bench, just 13 minutes; Copa Argentina: no appearances. He was also not considered for the playoffs against Gimnasia.

Corvalán has one more year on his contract, but with a high salary for his current status in the team. For some time now, Quilmes has been looking to bring him back to compete in the Primera Nacional, which seems like a viable exit if his sporting situation does not change.

Thus, the coming week will be decisive in determining the direction of two names who, each in their own way, left their mark on Unión. Between the intention to renew energy and the need to adjust the budget, Madelón and the board will have the final say on whether Gamba and Corvalán will continue wearing the red and white or begin a new chapter in their careers.
