Strasbourg step up chase for Mateo Del Blanco, Unión eye windfall | OneFootball

Mateo Del Blanco could be playing his final matches in the Club Atlético Unión shirt. The 22-year-old Argentine left-back is on the radar of several major clubs in Europe, but the team currently leading the race to secure his transfer is Strasbourg.

According to transfer specialist journalist Fabrizio Romano, the French side is at the front of the line to sign the Unión defender and would be willing to trigger his release clause, valued at around two million dollars.

Interest in Del Blanco is nothing new. For months, he has been closely monitored by European teams thanks to his strong form at Unión, where he has established himself as one of the most consistent players in the squad. In addition, the Santa Fe native holds a Spanish passport, a major advantage in easing his move to European football.

Strasbourg, a club owned by the BlueCo group — the same owners as Chelsea FC — is looking to strengthen at left-back following the departure of Valentín Barco and sees Del Blanco as a highly promising prospect for Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, in Santa Fe, they are closely following negotiations that could become one of Unión’s most important sales in recent transfer windows.
