The president of Sportivo Las Parejas confirmed on ADN Gol that yesterday Unión sent the notification to exercise the purchase option for 80% of Diego Armando Díaz's transfer and also shared what the Las Parejas club plans to do with that income.

Very happy to have had the conversation yesterday and that Unión sent the email and notification that they were exercising the clause in their favor to buy 80% of Diego Armando Díaz in 6 equal and consecutive installments of 25 thousand dollars, at the Banco Nación dollar rate, for everyone to know and that... Once and for all confirmed by the selling club that today we have the pleasure and pride of having captured the beast of Diego Armando Díaz, affectionately, so that he can continue his relationship with a first division club that connects us with Unión, between Bruno Pittón, Federico Vera and well, hopefully Diego's journey continues on this path.

Well, we will present it to the board, but we are going to finish the high-performance gym that we started this year and today we need to fill it with all the machines that are really expensive for our economy, but we would improve in some way the physical condition of all the club's athletes, not only football, but so that all the kids and members can use that high-performance gym. Surely we will beautify our stadium a bit more with some necessary renovations and well, I also have the dream of creating a synthetic grass field so that on very rainy days the youth and first division teams can train there. So we will see how we stretch the money to make it sufficient for everything.

In the event that Unión can sell Diego Armando Díaz, 20% would belong to us, so the conversation is open for that to happen. Hopefully, he does well, enjoys a good year in the first division, and then we can crown it with a sale for Sportivo in the economic phase. It would be very important, but well, as long as we emphasize, Darío, really on the person, on the human side, and that he is comfortable, that he can establish himself, that he gets more minutes, I think that is the second step he has to take with Unión de Santa Fe.

A unique one. Nicolás Vazzoler, a truly human person with incredible values that makes me happy that he has the opportunity to be on the first division coaching staff because he is very attentive, a very kind person, always responded to any of our requests, so I congratulate him and we will be grateful for life because he was a bit the one who pushed for Diego to have that first week of adaptation in reserve, they saw him all January and then he stayed in the first division. Well, if this is happening today, one of the great actors is Nico Vazzoler, which speaks a bit about his talent in scouting and the number of young players he is bringing up to the first division.

What I talked about with Diego, he came to visit me last week at my house in the most intimate setting, I can tell you, is that he has to show himself at Unión or another first division club, maybe in Chile, which would be a bit smoother adaptation than the abysmal competition in Argentina, but going to a National B club would not really be a good step for Diego, because we know what the National B roulette is like, sometimes you get a well-built team, sometimes not, and well, beyond the fact that the qualities of the good ones always stand out above the rest, I think Diego needs to be taken care of and always given teams that can support him, otherwise, he will be like a Mohican in the front line of a National B with how tough playing in that category is, I think Diego is a diamond in the rough and needs to be protected and hopefully, hopefully, he stays in the first division because he has shown from the little time he played against Bernabéu de Córdoba that he is unique and has enormous potential, but well, in 10 minutes it is difficult to demonstrate in such a tough football as the Argentine one and he really has the qualities, for me, if he adapts, he can easily fight for a starting position.
