Zurbriggen revealed Profini’s sale is well advanced | OneFootball

The transfer market is just getting underway, but there are already major developments at Unión. Santiago Zurbriggen confirmed that negotiations are well advanced to complete Rafael Profini’s transfer and admitted that several clubs are closely tracking other players in the squad.

The midfielder was one of the team’s breakout performers during Leonardo Madelón’s spell in charge, and his displays sparked interest from clubs abroad.

“An offer came in and it’s quite advanced. There are still some bureaucratic issues, but things are moving forward,” the red-and-white sporting director acknowledged in an interview with Unión Play, following the offer first reported by Diez en Deportes from Metalist of Ukraine.

Profini made the most of his opportunity last season to become an important part of the team, and everything suggests he is close to completing a transfer that will bring financial resources to the club.

Meanwhile, Zurbriggen also referred to the situations of Mateo Del Blanco and Lautaro Vargas, two players who have been on clubs’ radars for several transfer windows.

“There are no formal offers. They’re all just inquiries,” he clarified. However, he admitted that the interest is real and could turn into concrete proposals in the coming weeks.

“There are clubs asking about them and also about other Unión players who had a great year. The market is just starting, and offers will surely come in,” he explained.

The club’s leadership knows the transfer window will be long, but it also understands that it will be difficult to keep all the standout players from the team’s most recent campaign.
