Unión decide on market move, the position now top priority | OneFootball

Unión is going through key hours regarding its transfer market. Maizon Rodríguez’s move to Russia’s Krasnodar left an available slot, and the club’s leadership must decide whether to use it before this Tuesday or wait, considering that Lautaro Vargas’s serious injury will later open up another opportunity to sign a player.

The search that changed at Unión

The situation changed the scenario the club had been working with. At first, the priorities were focused on a left-back and a central midfielder, but the outlook shifted as the weeks went by.

For the left-back position, Leonardo Madelón currently has Lucas Ayala and Bruno Pittón, while in midfield the club is awaiting the return of Joaquín Mosqueira, who is in the final stage of recovery from his injury and could be back soon.

That is why, if Unión ultimately decides to make a signing, the target position would be center-back. Maizon’s departure left a gap in an area where the coach needs alternatives, and Vargas’s injury deepened that need.

A decision still not made at Unión

In any case, Unión has not yet decided whether it will complete a signing. The club’s leadership is analyzing the available options and is also considering the possibility of not using the slot now and waiting to do so later.

If a player appears who fits the desired profile and is financially viable, the priority will be a central defender.

Meanwhile, Madelón is working with the alternatives he has at hand. Tomás Fagioli and Matías Rocha appear as options to partner Juan Pablo Ludueña in central defense, in a decision the coach will also have to make for Monday’s match against Instituto.

Thus, Unión is going through a transfer-market decision in which injuries and departures changed the priorities. Left-back and midfield remain areas to keep an eye on, but if a reinforcement does arrive, everything indicates it will be to strengthen the defense.
