Total uncertainty: registration bans could leave Unión without signings | OneFootball

What had appeared to be a relief for Unión turned into a real nightmare just hours before the start of the tournament. This Friday, El Tatengue will begin its Professional Football League Clausura Tournament campaign when it visits Platense at the Ciudad de Vicente López Stadium starting at 7:00 p.m. However, head coach Leonardo Madelón is facing a last-minute complication that puts the lineup for the starting team at risk.

The Santa Fe club’s leadership had been working optimistically after settling the debt owed to José Angulo and was focused on unlocking the situation with Juventud de Las Piedras over the transfer of Maizón Rodríguez. However, that calm completely collapsed yesterday afternoon, when official FIFA records revealed a new sanction against the club, related to a failure to make payments for Paraguayan defender Fernando Díaz to Sol de América.

With this new legal setback, the institutional deadlines have shrunk dramatically. The club is now racing against the clock to make the outstanding payments and ensure that the lifting of the sanctions is reflected in the international transfer system in time to clear the new signings.

This administrative uncertainty directly affects the coach’s football planning. During training sessions this week, Leonardo Madelón had tested a starting lineup that included Ignacio Malcorra, Eric Ramírez, Mauro Luna Diale, and Joaquín Mosqueira. If the conflict is not resolved behind the scenes before the opening whistle, the coaching staff will be forced to shake things up and rebuild the lineup with players who were not part of the original plan for the debut against El Calamar.
