Unión on alert: are Universidad Católica eyeing up Marabel? | OneFootball

Junior Marabel's good form at Palestino has put him on the radar of Universidad Católica, who are already planning the future of their forward line. The Paraguayan striker, whose pass belongs to Unión, has scored 11 goals in 33 matches during this 2025, numbers that make him one of the figures of Chilean football.

In Santa Fe, they are closely watching the situation, as Tate owns 60% of the player's rights (the remaining 40% belongs to the footballer). The loan at Palestino is until December, but there is a purchase option of 1,000,000 dollars on the part of Unión, which raises hopes in the leadership of being able to finalize a transfer that leaves a significant income.

La Católica is thinking of strengthening its attack front because Fernando Zampedri is about to end his contract. Although everything points to a renewal, the idea of having two high-quality center forwards is why Marabel is in the folder.

In this way, the Paraguayan top scorer not only consolidates himself in the football across the Andes, but also becomes a key piece in possible negotiations that could benefit Unión economically and Católica in sports.
