Unión decided to formally file a complaint with the AFA National Dispute Resolution Chamber against Racing. The Santa Fe leadership, headed by Luis Spahn, is demanding a documented accounting after detecting major irregularities in the transfers of Adrián “Rocky” Balboa and Juan Ignacio Nardoni, players for whom the club from Avenida owns 20% and 30% of the economic rights, respectively.
The Balboa case raised alarm bells over the lack of transparency in the amounts involved. Racing reported a permanent transfer for $1,000,000, but refused to send a copy of the contract, citing alleged “confidentiality.” Unión representatives traveled to Avellaneda to review the documentation and found serious inconsistencies:
Juan Ignacio Nardoni’s situation is described as “much more serious” than Balboa’s, since Unión has so far received no payment at all. Racing acknowledged the debt but sent no funds, while the original contract does not authorize La Academia to arrange installment payment agreements. In addition, there are million-dollar contradictions in the reported amounts:
Unión’s leadership is considering taking federative, judicial, and even criminal action against Racing. Although they are exhausting every possibility of an amicable solution, their patience ran out after repeated formal notices and a “physical flight” to Buenos Aires that failed to clear up the doubts.
