Juventud's plan to settle row with Unión over Maizon Rodríguez | OneFootball

Amid efforts to lift the transfer bans weighing on the club, Unión received an unexpected proposal from Juventud de Las Piedras that could help resolve the dispute over Maizon Rodríguez’s transfer. The Uruguayan club, which filed the claim with FIFA over an outstanding debt, expressed its willingness to find a negotiated solution that benefits both sides.

The debt originated after the purchase of 50% of the Uruguayan defender’s registration rights, a deal worth around $825,000, of which Tatengue still has unpaid installments. Including interest and costs, the claim currently exceeds $500,000, which is why the Santa Fe club was banned from signing players.

In that context, Juventud de Las Piedras’ board proposed receiving part of the money immediately and refinancing the remaining balance through a new payment plan. The initiative seeks to prevent the conflict from continuing to escalate and to allow Unión to regularize its situation with FIFA in the short term.

Unión’s board is analyzing the proposal while awaiting the arrival of funds from recent player transfers, resources that would be key to paying off the most urgent debts and lifting the bans before the start of the Clausura Tournament. If the parties reach an agreement in the coming days, Unión will be able to register its new signings and put behind it one of the main administrative problems it is facing in this transfer window.
