Unión and agent Levinton close to settling court embargo dispute | OneFootball

The leaders of Unión have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the representative Sergio Levinton, thus paving the way to lift the embargo that weighs on the club.

Unión is going through decisive days to resolve one of the most important legal conflicts of recent years. According to reports, the club's management and the representative Sergio Levinton are very close to reaching an understanding that would allow the embargo on the club’s main accounts to be lifted, a measure that has been affecting the institution’s economic operations.

The conflict between Unión and Levinton

The origin of the conflict dates back to 2016, after the transfer of Ignacio Malcorra to Tijuana of Mexico. Levinton is claiming 50% of that transaction, alleging a prior representation agreement, while Unión maintains that there was never a formal commitment to support that claim.

The president Luis Spahn was clear in recent statements, asserting that the club appealed the judicial measure and that “not a single peso will be given” in a claim he considers unfounded. However, the financial difficulties caused by the embargo—which froze the main accounts and prevented access to funds for salary and operational commitments—accelerated efforts to find a negotiated solution.

The key to resolving the conflict

According to reports, the parties have made progress on a preliminary agreement based on a payment plan in installments, which would range between six and eight payments, for an amount lower than originally claimed. The proposal was submitted by Spahn and reportedly accepted by Levinton, pending its formalization before the courts in the coming days.

It is worth recalling that, in a previous attempt to resolve the conflict, the club had proposed to replace the embargo with a club property, something that ultimately did not succeed. Now, with the new payment scheme practically agreed upon, Unión is confident that they will be able to lift the embargo soon and regain full operational control of their accounts.

If finalized, the agreement will represent significant relief for the club’s treasury, at a time when economic stability is key to maintaining institutional and sporting order at the end of the year.
