As part of the policy to enhance and strengthen its assets, Unión is progressing in signing the first professional contract of one of its promising talents: Benjamín Pérez.

The 19-year-old attacking midfielder is among the young players targeted by the club to make the leap to professionalism, thereby ensuring the development of homegrown footballers. His name gained attention in recent days after the stunning goal he scored against Argentinos Juniors in the Reserve tournament, an action that quickly became a trend in the country.

Although he has not yet debuted in the First Division, Pérez is already starting to catch the eye of the technical staff led by Leonardo Madelón, who is closely monitoring his progress. The management's idea is to act early and secure his contract before his sporting growth attracts more external interest.

With this move, Unión reaffirms its strategy of strongly investing in its youth academy, consolidating a young base that not only contributes on the field but also represents a key asset for the institution's future.
