Unión is still active in the transfer market, and in recent hours, a new name has emerged to strengthen the right side of the defense. It is Uruguayan Juan de Dios Pintado, currently a Nacional de Montevideo player and formerly with Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata.
The information was revealed by journalist Diego Domínguez, from El Espectador Deportes, who stated that both Unión and Defensa y Justicia are interested in the situation of the 28-year-old full-back.

Pintado had limited involvement during the first half of the season with the Uruguayan side, where he played only eight official matches, so Nacional would be looking for an exit for the player in the current transfer window.
The defender has experience in Argentine football from his time at Gimnasia, as well as an extensive career in Uruguayan football. For now, there have been no formal negotiations, although sources in Uruguay say the right-back’s name is on the table.
