Unión’s leadership is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the first installment from Rafael Profini’s transfer to FK Kharkiv of Ukraine, key funds to begin bringing order to the delicate financial situation the institution is going through.

The deal was finalized at $1.8 million, an amount that will be paid in three installments of $600,000 each. The first payment should be credited once the transfer paperwork is completed, so the Santa Fe club is confident the money will arrive in the coming days to meet urgent commitments.

However, internally they are aware that this income will only represent partial relief. The accumulated debts far exceed the amount of the first installment, so the board of directors will have to decide which obligations will take priority.

Among the main objectives is the possibility of lifting the transfer bans affecting the institution, although resolving the financial dispute with Atlético Tucumán over the transfer of Marcelo Estigarribia is also a priority.

In addition, the club is still awaiting other pending income, including funds linked to the sale of Juan Nardoni, a delay that complicated Tatengue’s financial planning and deepened its difficult economic situation.

Meanwhile, another issue remains open on the leadership’s agenda: the renewal of Leonardo Madelón’s contract, whose continuity has not yet been made official. Next week appears crucial for making progress both on that front and on resolving several of the club’s ongoing financial issues.
