How likely is it that Machuca returns to training at Unión | OneFootball

Imanol Machuca was once again at the center of attention after reports emerged about the possibility of requesting permission to train at Unión. The winger was loaned by Fortaleza to Vélez, but the club from Liniers decided to terminate the deal following the sanction imposed by FIFA. For now, Unión insists they are unaware of any request made by the player or his representative and stress that any possibility would need the approval of Leonardo Carol Madelón.

Beyond the sporting aspect, Unión is also looking at the situation from a financial standpoint. The club owns 50% of the player’s economic rights, and there is an agreement under which Fortaleza must pay a penalty if it decides to release him. The sanction hanging over Machuca will remain in effect until September, so he would be cleared to play official matches again in about a month and a half. Meanwhile, in Santa Fe they maintain that there are no negotiations underway and that, so far, everything remains in the realm of speculation.
