Racing sell Balboa, Unión pocket a tidy sum

Image de l'article :Racing sell Balboa, Unión pocket a tidy sum

Former Unión player Adrián Balboa has moved to Russian football and Unión is rubbing its hands over the sum of money it will receive

Pari Nizhniy Novgorod is the club that wants the Uruguayan and the first offer had been for one million dollars, an amount that would be reached with some bonuses. The club responded that they want that amount without any performance-based objectives.

The Russians didn’t overthink it and quickly sent a counteroffer: one million dollars without bonuses but to be paid in four installments. In Avellaneda, they agreed and thus accepted the offer.

Unión owns 20% of the transfer (which would be about 200 thousand dollars) and was anxiously awaiting the outcome, which ended up being positive for the club’s finances.

Balboa’s departure gives Racing the chance to look for another striker in the market, and it can be a foreign player since a roster spot will also be freed up. And it seems the name is already known…

In recent days, it became known that the club’s management had Chilean Damián Pizarro on their radar, and he is the player targeted to replace Rocky.
