Unión on alert as Racing weigh up Gremio’s bid for Nardoni | OneFootball

In Santa Fe, a name is resurfacing on the red and white agenda: Juan Ignacio Nardoni. The interest from Brazil's Gremio in the Racing midfielder not only shook Avellaneda but also generated excitement at Unión, the club where he developed his football skills.

Although there is currently no formal offer presented to Racing, the inquiry from the Brazilian team is already a concrete topic. In Avellaneda, they acknowledge that they are willing to listen to proposals, although the figures that have emerged—far below the release clause—are far from what they consider acceptable.

A product of Unión's youth academy

Nardoni, 23 years old, took his first steps in professional football with Unión's jersey before being transferred to Racing at the beginning of 2023. Since then, he has established himself as an important piece in the academic midfield, accumulating more than a hundred matches, goals, assists, and international titles.

This sporting growth also keeps Tatengue attentive, as they observe every move related to the central midfielder, who was trained in their youth divisions and is a protagonist of one of the most significant sales in their recent history.

The numbers of a possible operation

Nardoni's release clause at Racing amounts to 22 million dollars, a figure that currently seems distant from the amounts circulating in unofficial versions. Nonetheless, the academic management does not rule out negotiating if a proposal comes close to their expectations, which would be around 10 million for the majority percentage they hold of the transfer.

Meanwhile, at Unión, they continue to closely monitor the development of the situation, knowing that any significant movement around a player who emerged from their academy always impacts, directly or indirectly, the club's economy and formative pride.

For now, everything is in the stage of rumors and inquiries. But in the Tatengue world, Nardoni's name has started to resonate strongly again, reminding everyone that his story still echoes in Santa Fe.
