Unión set for cash as Balboa nears Russia move, how much for Tate? | OneFootball

Racing is very close to finalizing the sale of striker Adrián Balboa to Nizhniy Novgorod of Russia. Unión owns 20% of the transfer rights.

A call from Eastern Europe caught the attention of Unión. It wasn’t just a simple inquiry or a casual question, as a Russian club made a decisive move for Adrián Balboa, and the impact is already being felt. Not only because of the business opportunity it represents for Racing, but also for Tate, who desperately needs dollars.

Nizhniy Novgorod stepped on the gas and submitted a proposal that has left Racing on the verge of closing the deal. On the table is one million dollars for 80% of the transfer rights, to be paid in installments, and a negotiation atmosphere that in just a few hours shifted from caution to optimism.

The situation is so solid that the club is already working on what comes next: the Chilean Damián Pizarro is being targeted to fill the spot that would be vacated by the Uruguayan striker, an unmistakable sign that the departure is practically a done deal.

But the movement isn’t limited to Avellaneda. In Santa Fe, Unión is closely monitoring every detail, since they retain 20% of the player’s rights and know that the transfer could mean a key income of approximately $200,000 for that 20% share. That’s why, beyond the overall amounts, the focus is on the fine print.
