Big-money move looms: Unión could bank on Maizon Rodriguez in Europe | OneFootball

In the world of football, transfer-market pieces often move in a true domino effect. Right now, in Unión’s world, all eyes are on what is happening in Europe, more precisely in Russia and Greece, where a chain negotiation could turn into an extremely lucrative deal for the coffers of the club from La Avenida.

Although the red-and-white leadership still has not formally confirmed that the player is packing his bags, the information circulating strongly in the transfer market indicates that Russia’s Krasnodar would sell center back Diego Costa to Greece’s PAOK for a figure close to 8 million euros.

With this imminent departure, the Russian side has already chosen his replacement: Maizon Rodriguez. To complete his arrival, Krasnodar would be willing to pay an enticing fee of around 4.5 million dollars.

The financial engineering: a perfect deal for Unión

If the deal is completed at those figures, they are already doing the math in the Santa Fe capital. Unión owns 50% of the player’s rights, so it would be entitled to a more than interesting share of the final sale.

The detail becomes even more relevant when reviewing the transfer history: at the time, Unión invested 825 thousand dollars for 50% of the player’s rights from Juventud (a negotiation that later included the memorable registration ban over the installment payments). If the transfer to Europe is finalized at the numbers being discussed, Tatengue would not only more than recover that initial investment, but would also secure a highly positive net balance in dollars.

For the moment, the official stance around the red-and-white camp is one of caution while waiting for PAOK and Krasnodar to sign the papers for Diego Costa. However, the calls and the figures are already on the table, and the phone at Casa Unión just keeps ringing.
