Strasbourg step up for Mateo Del Blanco, Unión eye a windfall | OneFootball

Mateo Del Blanco could be playing his final matches in the Club Atlético Unión shirt. The 22-year-old Argentine left-back is on the radar of several major European clubs, but the team currently leading the race to secure his signing is Strasbourg.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the French side is leading the race to sign the Tatengue defender and would be willing to trigger his release clause, valued at around two million dollars.

Interest in Del Blanco is nothing new. He has been closely monitored by European teams for months thanks to his strong form at Unión, where he has established himself as one of the most consistent players in the squad. In addition, the Santa Fe native holds a Spanish passport, a major advantage in easing his move to European football.

Strasbourg, a club owned by the BlueCo group—the same owners of Chelsea FC—is looking to strengthen the left-back position following Valentín Barco’s departure and sees Del Blanco as a highly promising prospect for Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, in Santa Fe, they continue to closely follow negotiations that could become one of Unión’s most important sales in recent transfer windows.
