Unión in countdown for Diego Armando Díaz, decision still pending | OneFootball

The days go by and in Unión, the situation of Diego Armando Díaz remains unchanged: no decisions, no official contacts, and a deadline that is quickly approaching. The club is nearing December 15, the deadline to execute the purchase option for the forward, and there are still no concrete moves from the management.

The player's loan ends on December 31, but the key fact is that Unión has the option to acquire 80% of his rights, a transaction valued at $150,000. The amount is considered affordable, even within the club's current economic context, especially considering that in September the same share of the rights could have been obtained for $100,000, an amount that was ultimately not paid.

Meanwhile, time keeps ticking. There are only seven days left to activate the option, and surprisingly, there has been no communication from the Tatengue institution with his representative, Andrés Fernández. The lack of signals is starting to cause concern on the player's side, who maintains a clear stance: his desire is to stay at Unión, as long as there is interest from the club and the approval of coach Leonardo Madelón.

The alternative on the table, even mentioned within the management circle, is for Unión to buy the rights and then decide to loan him out so he can continue playing with another team during 2026. However, that idea hasn't progressed either.

For now, everything is at a standstill. Díaz waits, his representative waits too, and President Luis Spahn, who should lead the negotiations, has not sped up the process despite the approaching deadline.

In the immediate future, Unión will have to choose: invest to retain a forward who wants to stay or once again pass up an opportunity that, this time, comes at a higher cost. The margin is minimal and the decision, inevitable.
