Mauricio Martínez trains at Casa Unión with ex-Tatengue player | OneFootball

Mauricio Martínez remains in Santa Fe, training at Casa Unión, the brand-new facility where the professional squad works, and his presence has not gone unnoticed. The midfielder, who has yet to decide his future, shared a photo on social media alongside Bruno Pittón and Emanuel Brítez—a gesture that once again put his name in the spotlight of the red-and-white scene.

Martínez at Casa Unión, Sending Signals That Don’t Go Unnoticed

As the transfer market moves forward, Martínez remains active in the city and has chosen to do so within the club that currently considers him one of its top sporting priorities. Training at Casa Unión, the facility recently acquired by the institution, is no small detail: only the First Division squad trains there.

Adding to this was a social media post that quickly caught the attention of fans. In the image, he is seen training with Bruno Pittón, a current red-and-white player, and Emanuel Brítez, who came up through Unión and now plays for Fortaleza in Brazil. In the football world, gestures also communicate, even without formal statements.

Madelón’s Plan and the Role He Envisions for the Midfielder

From a footballing perspective, Leonardo Madelón wants Mauricio Martínez to stay in Santa Fe. The coach values his experience, his knowledge of the club, and his versatility in midfield. However, even if he stays, the manager believes it is crucial to add another midfielder to create internal competition and raise the squad’s level.

The plan is to have a midfield with options, where Martínez can contribute quality but not be the only reference point in the position. This idea is part of the comprehensive analysis currently being carried out by the board together with the coaching staff.

Loan or Partial Purchase: The Options Unión Is Considering

On the contractual side, Unión is considering two options: extend the loan for another year or move forward with the purchase of 50% of his rights for $350,000. Rosario Central, who owns his rights, does not currently guarantee him a priority spot in their squad, a factor that opens the door to other alternatives.

The red-and-white club believes that, beyond negotiations, the current context is favorable and that the player’s continued presence in Santa Fe adds to the expectation of reaching an agreement.

External Interest and an Open Scenario In recent weeks, reports have also emerged from abroad. In Ecuador, Guayaquil media reported that Barcelona SC inquired about Martínez as a possible midfield reinforcement for 2026, taking advantage of the fact that his contract with Unión has ended.

For now, there are no official decisions, but as talks continue, Mauricio Martínez keeps training in Santa Fe, surrounded by current and former red-and-white teammates, in a scenario that keeps hope alive and reinforces the feeling that his story with Unión may still have new chapters to come.
