Tobías Rubio joins Unión: how he plays and the details of his move | OneFootball

Unión added a new signing to face the remainder of the season. It is Tobías Rubio, a defender arriving from Racing who mainly plays at right back, although he started out as a center back.

According to Diego Louzan, a journalist who covers Racing, Rubio is a player with primarily defensive characteristics. While he can get forward on the right flank, his main strength is linked to marking and defensive work. In his first steps in the top flight, he had some good performances in a Racing shirt and made his debut during Fernando Gago’s spell in charge.

Over time, he lost his place in the coaching staff’s plans and was loaned to Defensa y Justicia, where he stayed for one season. There he managed more continuity than at Racing and played around ten matches, although he still did not achieve the amount of playing time that had been expected for him.

As for his arrival at Unión, the loan would be free of charge and include a purchase option for 50% of his economic rights. For now, the figures involved in the deal have not been specified. At Racing, they say the agreement is separate from the negotiations the club previously held with Unión over Franco Nardoni and Adrián Balboa, although the possibility of some financial link between the institutions is not ruled out.

It is worth recalling that when Rubio was loaned to Defensa y Justicia, the deal included a purchase option of $700,000 for 70% of his registration rights. In this new agreement, since it is an option for 50%, the value is estimated to be lower, although the figure has not yet been officially disclosed.

In this way, Unión bring in a young defender looking to regain continuity and rediscover his best form. His main characteristic is his ability to play at right back with a profile more geared toward marking than attacking projection.
