Unión’s leadership, headed by Luis Spahn, has turned an administrative review into an institutional priority by closely examining Racing’s sales of Juan Ignacio Nardoni and Adrián Balboa. The Santa Fe club is preparing an official report expected to be released in the coming hours, aiming to set out a firm position regarding what they consider a lack of clarity in the amounts and distribution of funds from both transfers.
The main source of conflict is Nardoni’s transfer to Grêmio of Porto Alegre for 8 million dollars, where Unión is claiming 30% of the net amount under previous agreements, in addition to 6% of the remaining capital gain. A similar situation surrounds Balboa’s case, sold to FC Pari Nizhniy Novgorod for a figure close to one million dollars; there, the “Tatengue” is seeking to confirm through official documentation the payment corresponding to its 20% stake in the player’s rights.
The background to this dispute is strictly financial, as this income is vital to Unión’s short-term finances. Tensions with Racing’s leadership, headed by Diego Milito, are growing as Santa Fe demands access to the original contracts to make the deals transparent. The club warns that it will not issue a final position until reviewing all the paperwork, in a conflict that promises to escalate during the week.
