Luis Spahn returns after health scare, values Palacios at £1.5m | OneFootball

The president of Unión said he was extremely pleased with the team’s current form after the important win over Instituto, and also took the opportunity to reassure everyone about his health following the episode he suffered last Saturday, August 29.

His health and an analysis of Unión’s current moment

Speaking to Aire de Santa Fe (FM 91.1), the club’s top official praised the squad’s positive run heading into the immediate future: “One win is the stepping stone to the next, and it also builds confidence. Now we’ll be able to enjoy a good week, waiting for the match against Talleres,” he said.

When asked about the physical issue that had raised alarm days earlier, Spahn clarified what caused the episode: “It was a sudden drop in blood pressure. I didn’t want to let the club down, I had to be there representing it. This flu is really knocking me around,” a remark that reflects his determination not to step away from his institutional duties despite feeling unwell.

Transfer market and the relationship with Racing

On the football and negotiations side, the president formally referred to the concrete interest in one of the team’s standout players: “The offer for Julián Palacios was far below the club’s expectations. It was for $400,000, and Unión believes the player is worth $1,500,000,” he stated bluntly regarding the rejection of the bid.

Lastly, Spahn mentioned the political and commercial relationship he maintains with Racing’s leadership, specifically with its sporting figurehead: “We want to defend the interests of the institution and smooth things over with Diego Milito. He told me we couldn’t remain at odds,” he concluded regarding the rapprochement between the two clubs.
