Luna Diale awaits clearance to debut for Unión

Unión is going through crucial hours ahead of this Thursday’s match against Lanús, the pending fixture from the second round of Zone A in the Clausura Tournament. The main expectation among Tatengue fans is the clearance of Mauro Luna Diale, who is still awaiting the international paperwork that would allow him to be available to Leonardo Madelón.

The forward, one of the additions in the transfer market, was unable to be included in the squad for the defeat against Gimnasia de Mendoza because the Transfer Matching System (TMS) from Russia, where he played for Akhmat Grozny, has not yet arrived. Although Unión has already resolved the transfer bans weighing on the club, that pending procedure continues to delay his official debut.

The red-and-white club’s board is working against the clock to complete all the paperwork before the established deadlines expire. If FIFA’s approval arrives in time, Luna Diale will be cleared and will have a strong chance of getting his first minutes in the red-and-white shirt at the 15 de Abril stadium.

Mauro Luna Diale’s clearance is being held up because the club that owns his registration, Akhmat Grozny of Russia, is under a FIFA ban. The sanction prevents player transactions, both incoming and outgoing.

Meanwhile, Madelón is preparing the team for an important clash against Lanús, hoping to have one of the most anticipated signings available to strengthen the attack and secure the team’s first victory of the tournament.
