Belgrano won't take up Cardozo option, but Unión stand firm | OneFootball

What seemed imminent was not. After Belgrano were crowned champions, everyone was saying that the Pirata would exercise the option to buy Thiago Cardozo’s registration rights, bearing in mind that Unión own 65%.

For that reason, Unión’s board remained attentive to the matter, since the deadline for Belgrano to exercise the purchase option was June 30.

Belgrano will not exercise the option for Cardozo

In the end, that did not happen, nor will it, because although there is still a week left before the deadline expires, it is known that Belgrano will not pay $1.2 million to keep the Uruguayan goalkeeper.

The only offer made by Pirata president Luis Artime was $300,000, plus the cancellation of a $200,000 debt that Unión still owes for the transfer of Agustín Colazo.

Therefore, the gap is wide and, in addition, after transferring Rafael Profini, the Tatengue do not have the same financial urgency they had a few weeks ago and are remaining calm.

Consequently, Unión are not moving from the fixed option and want Belgrano to pay $1.2 million for the goalkeeper’s registration, who will in any case remain with the Pirata until December, when the loan ends.
