How a deal between Unión and Malcorra’s agent could take shape | OneFootball

Unión has reportedly reached a payment agreement with Sergio Levinton, who claims 50% of the sale of Ignacio Malcorra to Tijuana in 2016.

Unión is going through decisive hours to resolve one of the most significant legal conflicts of recent years. After months of negotiations and legal maneuvers, the tatengue leadership and representative Sergio Levinton have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement that would lift the embargo on the club's main bank accounts, a measure that seriously complicated the institution's economic operations.

The origin of the conflict between Unión and Malcorra's representative

The origin of the conflict dates back to 2016, when Ignacio Malcorra was transferred to Tijuana in Mexico. Levinton claims 50% of that operation, based on an alleged prior representation agreement, while Unión maintains that there was never a formal commitment to validate that claim.

President Luis Spahn was adamant weeks ago when addressing the issue. “The club appealed the judicial measure and will not yield a single peso in a claim we consider unfounded,” he assured. However, the consequences of the embargo—which froze the main accounts and prevented the use of funds to meet salary and operational obligations—forced the rojiblanca leadership to seek a negotiated solution.

What the agreement between Unión and Levinton would look like

According to reports, the understanding involves the payment of eight installments of 40 thousand dollars each, an amount that represents a reduction from the initial sum claimed by Levinton. In this way, Unión managed to improve the terms of the agreement, which is considered a significant advancement in a dispute that has lasted nearly a decade.

Only the signing of the agreement remains, an essential step for the embargo to be lifted and for the club to regain full operational control of its accounts. It is worth remembering that, in a previous attempt to resolve the litigation, the institution had proposed replacing the embargo with a club property, although that alternative ultimately did not succeed.

If the understanding is finalized, the agreement with Levinton will represent a substantial relief for the tatengue treasury, at a time when financial stability is crucial to closing the year without surprises.

The leadership is confident that this resolution will mark the end of a long legal conflict and allow for greater predictability in facing upcoming economic and sports commitments.
