Numerous loans from the previous campaign officially expired on and around 30 June.[7] Franco Troyansky converted a penalty as Unión beat Godoy Cruz in a pre-season friendly on 3 July, though lost the secondary encounter by two goals.[8] [9] Damián Martínez, who spent the last two campaigns on loan from Independiente, was signed permanently on 3 July. A transaction with Patronato for Gabriel Carabajal was confirmed on 4 July, with the right midfielder penning a three-year contract. Joaquín Papaleo was loaned, for a career third time, to Santamarina. Unión beat Cosmos FC in friendlies on 10 July.
Right midfielder Santiago Lebus headed off to All Boys on 10 July, a day prior to Federico Andrada's exit to Aldosivi.
