Tension grows between Unión and Atlético Tucumán over debt | OneFootball

While Unión focused its efforts in recent hours on finalizing the sale of Rafael Profini to generate funds, internally it is also trying to ease pressure on several financial fronts. In addition to the restrictions already affecting the club, there is another situation causing concern: the debt owed to Atlético Tucumán for the transfer of Marcelo Estigarribia.

The deal for the forward has still not been paid within the agreed deadlines, and it has caused growing frustration among El Decano’s leadership. As Diez en Deportes has learned, the relationship appears to be broken. In fact, sources in Tucumán say that president Luis Spahn “hasn’t answered” their calls for ten days.

The conflict is not new and has already had consequences. Atlético Tucumán moved forward with the seizure of Unión’s accounts in an attempt to guarantee payment of the debt, and also filed a complaint with the AFA, adding further pressure on a club already burdened with other financial commitments. In that context, the money coming in from Profini’s sale appears to be a breath of fresh air for a strained treasury. The red-and-white leadership’s intention is to use those funds to address various open fronts and prevent financial problems from continuing to pile up.

Paradoxically, Unión is also expecting to collect significant sums from various deals and solidarity mechanisms, although reality shows that the number of outstanding obligations remains high. That combination of receivables and debts to be paid keeps the club in a complex financial situation, with several conflicts unfolding at the same time.

For now, the Estigarribia case remains unresolved, and the tension with Atlético Tucumán continues to rise, becoming yet another headache for the administration led by Luis Spahn in the middle of a transfer market where every financial move is crucial.
