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

The current good form of Junior Marabel at Palestino has put him in the orbit of Universidad Católica, which is already beginning to plan the future of its forward line. The Paraguayan attacker, whose pass belongs to Unión, has accumulated 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 hope in the management to be able to make a transfer that leaves a significant income.

La Católica is thinking of reinforcing 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 scorer not only consolidates himself in the trans-Andean football, but also becomes a key piece in possible negotiations that could benefit Unión economically and Católica in sports.
