Unión lifted one of its two FIFA bans | OneFootball

Unión received some 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 with the possibility of using its new signings in mind.

In the FIFA system update, only the ban related to Juventud Las Piedras appears, dated June 23, which confirms that the sanction prompted by Ecuadorian forward José Enrique Angulo has been lifted, after his claim amounted to $90,000.

One major debt remains for Unión to resolve

Now, the only obstacle Unión still has with FIFA concerns the debt to Juventud Las Piedras, stemming from the purchase of 80% of defender Maizon Rodríguez’s rights. It is a ban tied to nearly $500,000, which the club’s leadership also intends to settle in the coming hours.

There is optimism at the club about resolving that situation, since the proceeds from the sales of Rafael Profini to Kharkiv of Ukraine and Mateo Del Blanco to Racing Strasbourg should be credited between this Monday and Tuesday, 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 coming 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 hurdle so the coaching staff can have all the new arrivals available for the Clausura Tournament opener.
