Unión await windfall to lift transfer bans before opener | OneFootball

Unión is facing decisive days ahead of the start of the Torneo Clausura. The club’s leadership is awaiting the arrival of significant financial resources that would allow it to lift the sanctions weighing on the club and clear its new signings for the opener on July 24 against Platense.

At present, Tatengue has two FIFA-imposed transfer bans. One is tied to a debt of around $90,000 with Ecuadorian striker José Angulo, while the other is linked to a claim from Juventud Las Piedras over the transfer of Maizon Rodríguez, for an amount close to $500,000. Until both obligations are settled, Unión will not be able to officially register its new additions.

The main expectation is focused on the arrival of funds from two transfers completed in this window. On one hand, the club expects to receive the first installment of $600,000 from the sale of Rafael Profini to Ukrainian football. In addition, it is awaiting the arrival of $2.2 million net from the transfer of Mateo Del Blanco, after taxes and Santa Fe FC’s corresponding percentage are deducted.

The board’s intention is to use those resources to immediately lift the transfer bans and make the new signings eligible for the start of the championship. At the same time, part of the money would also be used to settle internal debts with the professional squad, mainly unpaid bonuses.

Meanwhile, coach Leonardo Madelón is closely following the talks and hopes the administrative situation will be resolved next week, with the aim of having the full squad available for the Torneo Clausura debut.
