How likely is Machuca to return to training at Unión | OneFootball

Imanol Machuca was once again thrust into the spotlight after reports emerged about the possibility of requesting permission to train with 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, at Unión they say they are unaware of any request made by the player or his representative and stress that any possibility would have to be approved by Leonardo Carol Madelón.

Beyond the sporting aspect, Unión are 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 will have to pay a penalty if it decides to release him. The sanction hanging over Machuca will last until September, so he would be eligible to play officially again in about a month and a half. Meanwhile, in Santa Fe they insist that there are no negotiations underway and that, for now, everything remains in the realm of speculation.
