Unión had one of its two FIFA bans lifted | OneFootball

Unión received highly anticipated news this Monday amid the countdown to its debut in the Liga Profesional Clausura Tournament. According to FIFA’s official records, the club managed to lift one of the two transfer bans it had in place, a key step in terms of being able to use its new signings.

In the latest update to FIFA’s system, only the ban related to Juventud Las Piedras, dated June 23, still appears, which confirms that the sanction triggered by Ecuadorian forward José Enrique Angulo has been removed. His claim amounted to $90,000.

One major debt remains unresolved for Unión

Now, the only issue still affecting Unión at FIFA is the debt owed to Juventud Las Piedras, stemming from the purchase of 80% of defender Maizon Rodríguez’s rights. It is a ban tied to roughly $500,000, which the club’s leadership also hopes to settle in the coming hours.

There is optimism at the club about resolving that situation, since between this Monday and Tuesday the proceeds from the sales of Rafael Profini to Kharkiv of Ukraine and Mateo Del Blanco to Racing Strasbourg should be credited, deals that will provide the financial backing needed to meet these obligations.

All eyes are on Platense

The board’s goal is for Leonardo Madelón to have the new signings available for Friday’s debut against Platense, starting at 9:15 p.m. in Vicente López.

For that to happen, it will also be essential for the remaining ban to be lifted and for all the corresponding administrative procedures to be completed in order to register Ignacio Malcorra, Mauro Luna Diale, Joaquín Mosqueira, Eric Ramírez, and Juan De Dios Pintado, who will officially join in the next few hours.

With one of the sanctions already removed, Unión has taken an important step in the race against the clock, although it still needs to clear the final obstacle so the coaching staff can have all of the new additions available for the Clausura Tournament opener.
