Unión make move for Facundo Silvera: Torque reject first bid | OneFootball

Unión are urgently looking for a left-back following Mateo Del Blanco’s departure to Racing Strasbourg. The Santa Fe club submitted a formal offer to Montevideo City Torque for the 29-year-old Uruguayan Facundo Silvera, but the Uruguayan board rejected it for considering it insufficient.

The need to add an experienced defender is a top priority for Unión’s coaching staff. Bruno Pittón is not at his best physically or football-wise, which will force youngster Lucas Ayala to start as an emergency option in the next match against Platense. Silvera fits the profile they are looking for: he can defend, get forward, and already knows Argentine football after his spell with Almagro in 2023. He has also recently gained international experience in the Copa Sudamericana with his current club.

The defender’s contract with Torque expires at the end of the year. On Avenida López y Planes, they are confident that the player’s desire to make the jump to the Professional League will help unlock the situation. Unión’s board is already considering improving the figures in order to make a new financial offer in the coming hours.
