Unión’s management is going through decisive hours regarding Lautaro Vargas’s future. After rejecting an initial proposal submitted by the right-back’s representative, the Santa Fe club is now awaiting a new offer that could determine whether the player stays or is transferred during this transfer window.
The initial offer, brought by Pablo Sabbag on behalf of a club from Dubai, included the purchase of 50% of the player’s registration rights. However, at Tatengue they considered it insufficient: the amount was around 1.2 million gross dollars, and after deducting taxes and the percentage corresponding to ADIUR —owner of 20% of the economic rights— the income for Unión was reduced considerably.
Despite the rejection, negotiations remain open. The management is considering two alternatives: selling 100% of the transfer rights to secure a more significant income, or accepting a deal for half of the player’s rights, as long as the new proposal raises the amount. According to reports, the minimum Unión is seeking would be 1.5 million dollars for 50% of the transfer rights.
Meanwhile, the player views the possibility of moving abroad favorably due to the significant financial improvement represented by the contract offered from Arab football, far superior to what he currently earns in Santa Fe. This week will be decisive in finding out whether Vargas remains under Leonardo Madelón’s orders or whether his move abroad is finalized.
