Unexpected blow for Madelón: Mauro Pittón set to leave Unión for Spain | OneFootball

Mauro Pittón would appear to have his days numbered at Unión. His immediate future would be in Spain’s Second Division —commercially known as LaLiga Hypermotion— wearing the colors of Tenerife, a club that has just secured its return to the second tier after a historic campaign in the third division.

Negotiations speeding up against the clock

The talks to finalize the transfer would be taking place under strict secrecy but at top speed. The agents representing the Santa Fe-born footballer would be in direct, one-on-one contact with Manu Guill, Tenerife’s sporting director. The urgency would stem from the island club’s needs, as the Spanish squad has already begun preseason and would want to integrate the midfielder as soon as possible.

The clearest sign of his departure can be seen in Unión’s daily training sessions. Pittón would already have been left out of the main group and is training separately alongside Franco Fragapane and Augusto Solari.

An unexpected blow for Leonardo Madelón

The news would have landed like a real bucket of cold water in the red-and-white camp. Within the club, the transfer is being described as “unthinkable” because there had been no prior rumors about his departure; the market spotlight had been on other members of the starting squad who had drawn interest after their strong season. His exit would represent a very hard blow to the football structure head coach Leonardo Madelón was planning for the second half of the year.

The two paths to untangle the contractual engineering

The board on López y Planes Avenue would be trying to resolve the financial terms of the transfer under particular circumstances, since the midfielder has only six months left on his contract with El Tatengue. Because of this, Pittón’s departure would ultimately be decided through one of these two specific options:

This crossroads would mirror the recent departure of Palacios, where the short length of the contract forced the board to seek a negotiated exit to avoid the player leaving on a free at the end of the year. With this transfer, the Tatengue midfielder would become a direct rival of another former Unión player in Spanish football, Jerónimo Dómina, who currently wears the Cádiz shirt.
