Unión are finalising the details to sell Rafael Profini | OneFootball

Unión is getting closer and closer to completing one of the most important transfers of the last few transfer windows. Rafael Profini, one of the biggest breakout players to come through Tatengue’s youth academy, is in advanced talks to continue his career with Football Club Metalist 1925 of Ukraine.

The offer submitted by the European club is around three million dollars or euros, a figure that would represent a very significant financial boost for the red-and-white club’s coffers. However, the deal is not closed yet, as the parties are still working out some details considered key by the board.

The point Unión wants to secure

Beyond the amount that would come in from the transfer, the board has a clear stance that it has already applied in other major sales in recent years: keeping an economic stake in the player.

That was the case in deals such as those of Lucas Esquivel, Kevin Zenón, and Juan Ignacio Nardoni, in which Unión managed to retain benefits for possible future transfers.

In Profini’s case, the intention is to keep 20% of the player’s rights or, failing that, negotiate a significant capital gain clause that would allow the club to profit if the player is transferred again in the coming years.

Talks remain open, and that issue appears to be one of the main points in finalizing the agreement.

Bragarnik’s absence delays the decision

Another factor delaying the final closing has to do with the player’s representation. Christian Bragarnik, Profini’s agent, is currently out of the country, a situation that prevents progress with in-person meetings and the final signing of all the necessary documentation to formalize the transfer.

Therefore, although there is optimism among the parties and the deal is moving toward a favorable resolution, the final decision would depend on the businessman’s return.

Unión is already thinking about a replacement

While the details of the sale are still being ironed out, Unión already knows it will have to enter the market to fill the vacancy Profini will leave behind.

The priority would be to bring in a center-back or a player who would allow the defensive and midfield structure to be reshaped, considering that the youngster ended up taking on an increasingly important role within the team.

With a multimillion transfer underway and fresh resources set to come into the club, the Tatengue is preparing to face a transfer window that promises major movement both in departures and new signings.
