Unión de Santa Fe lifts transfer bans

Entities: Leonardo Madelón · Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza · Mauro Luna Diale · Club Atlético Unión · Gimnasia de Mendoza

Overview

In late July 2026, Unión de Santa Fe announced that head coach Leonardo Madelón had renewed his contract, ending weeks of speculation. Club president Luis Spahn said that pending financial transfers would clear the administrative bans that had prevented registration of new signings, though some players still faced individual paperwork delays.

A few days later the club confirmed that it had settled outstanding debts with foreign clubs in Uruguay and Paraguay, prompting FIFA to lift all registration inhibitions. Madelón was then free to select his full squad for the upcoming match against Gimnasia de Mendoza, with most recent signings now eligible, while a small number of midfielders remained awaiting documentation.
