Nardoni’s transfer impact: how much money does Unión really get? | OneFootball

The transfer of Juan Ignacio Nardoni to Gremio of Porto Alegre has shaken up the transfer market, closing at a figure of 8 million dollars for 80% of his rights. For Unión, this operation is not a minor move: the club still retains 30% of the midfielder's economic rights, which guarantees an immediate income of 2.4 million dollars. This capital injection comes at a crucial moment, allowing the management to settle accounts and plan the team assembly with more ease before the transfer window closes on March 10.

However, the atmosphere in Santa Fe is cautious due to the fine print of the contract. There is an additional bonus of 2 million dollars subject to sporting objectives that Gremio would pay to Racing; if confirmed, Unión should receive an extra 600,000 dollars. The key to clearing up any doubts lies in the AFA's COMET system, the digital platform where contracts and rosters are made official. The "Tatengue" is awaiting the upload of this data to verify if Racing included or excluded Unión from these performance-related benefits, a mystery that keeps the club's treasury on edge.

On the other hand, Racing's financial engineering showed surgical precision to protect its interests. By setting the sale price at exactly 8 million dollars, the Academy avoided triggering a 10% capital gain clause that Unión held on any excess of that amount. However, Unión's economic link with Nardoni does not end here: since Racing retains 20% of the rights and the Santa Fe club maintains its right over 30% of that portion, Unión is assured of receiving payment again if the player is transferred to a third club in the future, maintaining a long-term residual income.
