Unexpected blow for Madelón: Mauro Pittón set to leave Unión for Spain | OneFootball

Mauro Pittón would appear to have his hours numbered at Unión. His immediate future would be in Spain’s Second Division —commercially known as LaLiga Hypermotion— wearing the colors of Tenerife, a club that has just secured its return to the second tier after a historic campaign in the third division.

Talks moving quickly against the clock

The efforts to finalize the transfer would be taking place under strict secrecy but at top speed. The agents representing the Santa Fe-born footballer would be in direct one-on-one contact with Manu Guill, Tenerife’s sporting director. The urgency would stem from the island club’s needs, given that the Spanish squad has already begun preseason and would want to integrate the midfielder as soon as possible.

The clearest sign of his departure can be seen in Unión’s daily training sessions. Pittón would already have been removed from the main group and is training separately alongside Franco Fragapane and Augusto Solari.

An unexpected blow for Leonardo Madelón

The news would have landed like a real bucket of cold water in the red-and-white camp. Those around the club describe the transfer as “unthinkable” because there had been no prior rumors about his departure; the market spotlight had been focused on other members of the starting squad who had been attracting interest after their strong season. His exit would represent a very hard blow to the football structure head coach Leonardo Madelón was planning for the second half of the year.

The two ways to untangle the contractual engineering

The leadership on López y Planes Avenue would be trying to resolve the financial terms of the transfer under a particular scenario, since the midfielder has only six months left on his contract with El Tatengue. Given this, Pittón’s departure would ultimately be decided through one of these two concrete options:

This crossroads would closely resemble the recent departure of Palacios, where the short time left on the deal forced the board to seek a negotiated solution to avoid the player leaving on a free at the end of the year. With this move, the Tatengue midfielder would become a direct rival of another former Unión player in Spanish football, Jerónimo Dómina, who currently wears the Cádiz shirt.
