While Unión's squad prepares for its debut next Friday against Platense, the club’s management is working intensely in the transfer market. Coach Leonardo Madelón already has several of the signings he requested, but insists that the team is still not complete. The first key deadline is July 21, the date when the general player registration window closes.

The new faces and the positions to strengthenSo far, El Tatengue has added Mauro Luna Diale, Ignacio Malcorra, Joaquín Mosqueira and Eric Ramírez, names that have increased internal competition. Likewise, the arrival of defender Juan de Dios Pintado is well advanced and could be finalized shortly.

Despite these additions, Madelón wants to strengthen specific areas:

  • Left-back: They are looking for an option to compete with Lucas Ayala (currently the starter) and Bruno Pittón.
  • Forward: If Agustín Colazo’s transfer abroad goes through, the absolute priority will be to bring in an attacker.
  • Midfielder and goalkeeper: The club is considering adding a midfielder to provide depth and a goalkeeper to fill the backup role.

Contract terminations and the regulatory advantage until September

At the same time, the board is managing the departures of Augusto Solari and Franco Fragapane, who are negotiating the termination of their respective contracts in order to free up roster spots and budget.

Although the domestic transfer window ends in just a few days, Unión has extended room to maneuver. Due to the recent overseas sales of Mateo Del Blanco and Rafael Profini, the regulations grant the club the benefit of two extra slots. This will allow it to sign players until next September 2, a key advantage in case it does not finalize the ongoing negotiations this week.
