Unión banks millions from transfers, now eyes squad reinforcements | OneFootball

Unión is going through a transfer window with major movement and, so far, has already agreed deals worth around 4.8 million dollars. After completing the sale of Rafael Profini to Ukrainian football and advancing Mateo Del Blanco’s move to Racing Strasbourg, the big question is whether the board will keep letting players go or bring the exodus to an end.

The first completed deal was Profini’s transfer to FK Kharkiv for 1.8 million dollars, a fee the club will receive in three installments. Added to that will be Del Blanco’s transfer to the French side, which would be finalized for around three million dollars, although the final amount Unión will receive will be lower because of taxes and the percentage due to Santa Fe FC, the club where the full-back was developed.

Despite the significant financial relief these two sales represent, the market could still bring more news. One of the players still attracting interest is Julián Palacios, who is being tracked by Mexican football. His contract expires at the end of the year and, if an offer arrives before September 1, Unión would keep a percentage of any eventual transfer.

Other names still being monitored are Valentín Fascendini, wanted in this window by Belgrano and Talleres; Maizon Rodríguez, who is on Independiente’s radar; and Lautaro Vargas, one of the squad’s young prospects who is also creating expectations of a future sale.

Meanwhile, coach Leonardo Madelón is waiting for reinforcements to fill the gaps left by the departures. Profini’s exit makes it necessary to look for a defensive midfielder, while Del Blanco’s transfer means a left-back must be signed. The challenge for the board will be to balance the need to strengthen the club’s finances without weakening the squad ahead of the second half of the season.
