In Cádiz, talk is growing of Unión punishing Jerónimo Dómina | OneFootball

The arrival of Jerónimo Dómina at Cádiz CF has not yet been officially finalized in sporting terms, but it is already causing a stir in Santa Fe. The young Argentine forward, who will become a new player for the Spanish club starting January 1, 2026, could face a sanction from Unión after having traveled to Europe without the formal authorization of the red-and-white club.

Dómina, who signed a four-and-a-half season contract with Cádiz, reportedly traveled a few days ago to undergo a medical examination at the Clínica San Rafael, complete the signing of the contract, and begin his adaptation. He was even seen present at the Andalusian team's defeat against Cultural Leonesa and training on his own at the Ciudad Deportiva Bahía de Cádiz.

According to reports, Unión is considering imposing a fine on the player, as he may have breached internal procedures by traveling without the corresponding permission.

A contentious departure with little financial return

The forward will finish his contract with Unión on December 31, so his move to Spanish football will become effective the following day. However, since his contract renewal did not go through—a process the club tried unsuccessfully—Unión would only receive around 400,000 euros in training compensation, although some sources even reduce that amount to figures that would not exceed 300,000 euros.

In light of this, those at Cádiz consider the operation a true “market opportunity”, since the player was on the radar of several clubs. According to information circulating on social media and in specialized media, there was interest from teams such as Burgos CF, Real Valladolid, Nashville (MLS), and Tigres of Mexico, in addition to inquiries from other European leagues.

A key week for the case

While Cádiz calmly awaits the start of 2026 to officially present their new signing, the issue is still causing unrest at Unión. The management is analyzing whether to apply disciplinary measures or to prioritize closing the chapter with the young forward, who was one of the most promising talents to emerge from the Tatengue youth academy.

The truth is that, beyond the controversy, Jerónimo Dómina has already begun preparing for his arrival in European football, and his departure leaves more questions than answers at Unión, both from a sporting and institutional perspective.
