  • Unión Española is actively pursuing the Venezuelan defender Bianneider Tamayo for the upcoming Liga de Ascenso season.
  • Universidad de Chile, however, wishes to retain the 21-year-old player despite Unión Española's persistent efforts.
  • Tamayo has played six matches for Universidad de Chile in the current semester and previously played for Unión Española in 2025.

Unión Española has renewed its efforts to sign Venezuelan defender Bianneider Tamayo, aiming to bolster their squad for the second half of the Liga de Ascenso season. The club is reportedly insistent on acquiring the 21-year-old player, signaling their strong interest in his capabilities.

However, their pursuit faces a significant hurdle as Universidad de Chile, Tamayo's current club, is determined to keep him. Despite multiple contacts and negotiations from Unión Española, the "Romántico Viajero" is reluctant to let the defender go, highlighting his perceived value to their team.

Tamayo has featured in six games for Universidad de Chile this season, accumulating 360 minutes on the field. Notably, he has prior experience with Unión Española, having played for them in 2025 before the team's relegation to the Liga de Ascenso. This history could potentially influence his decision, but Universidad de Chile's desire to retain him remains a key factor.
