Unión weigh up the market: the position now top priority | OneFootball

Unión is going through important hours regarding its transfer market. The departure of Maizon Rodríguez to Krasnodar in Russia left an available slot, and the club’s leadership must decide whether to use it before this Tuesday or wait, considering that Lautaro Vargas’ serious injury will later open up another possibility to sign a player.

The search that changed at Unión

The situation altered the scenario the club had been handling. At first, the priorities were focused on a left back and a central midfielder, but the outlook has changed over the weeks.

For the left-back position, Leonardo Madelón currently has Lucas Ayala and Bruno Pittón, while in midfield the return of Joaquín Mosqueira is expected, as he is in the final stage of recovery from his injury and could be back soon.

That is why, if Unión ultimately decides to sign someone, the targeted position would be center back. Maizon’s departure left a gap in an area where the coach needs alternatives, and Vargas’ injury deepened that need.

A decision that has not yet been made at Unión

In any case, Unión still has not decided whether it will make a signing. The club’s leadership is analyzing the available options and is also considering the possibility of not using the slot now and waiting to do so later.

If a player appears who meets the desired characteristics and is financially viable, the priority will be a central defender.

Meanwhile, Madelón is working with the alternatives he has on hand. Tomás Fagioli and Matías Rocha appear as options to partner Juan Pablo Ludueña in central defense, in a decision the coach will also have to make for Monday’s match against Instituto.

Thus, Unión is going through a transfer-market decision in which injuries and departures changed the priorities. Left back and midfield remain areas to watch, but if a reinforcement ultimately arrives, everything indicates it will be to strengthen the defense.
