Corvalán out of favour, Quilmes and Godoy Cruz keeping an eye on him | OneFootball

Claudio Corvalán will not be considered by Leo Madelón at Unión, where he has a contract until December 31. He is training separately and has two offers.

The situation of Claudio Corvalán at Unión is no longer a mystery and has become a certainty. The defender, who was captain and one of the key figures during Cristian “Kily” González’s tenure, is now definitively out of Leonardo Madelón’s plans. After the end of the 2025 season, Madelón informed the player that he will not be considered for next year.

This scenario had already been anticipated in the second half of last year, when Corvalán lost ground and prominence, but now the decision is final and marks the end of a long chapter at the red-and-white club.

Training separately and awaiting a resolution

Corvalán has a valid contract with Unión until December 31 of this year, although last Friday he began preseason training separately, away from the professional squad, while his contractual situation is being resolved.

The fact is that Madelón will not consider him from a footballing perspective, so the defender is seeking an early exit. To do so, he will need to reach an agreement with the management regarding the remaining months of his contract, a key step to determine his next destination.

The market starts to move

On the sporting front, Corvalán’s name is already circulating. Quilmes, the club where he was developed as a player, appears as one of the concrete possibilities, while Godoy Cruz also has him on their radar, as part of an ambitious squad-building effort with the clear goal of fighting for a quick return to the First Division.

For now, there are no formal decisions, but the interest exists and the defender is evaluating options to continue his career with regular playing time.

A long chapter and numbers that back him up

Regardless of the outcome, Corvalán leaves a significant mark at Unión. Since his arrival, he has been a key player in different periods and has accumulated a large number of official matches:

-219 matches played

-3 goals scored

Spread over eight seasons, with appearances in local tournaments, national and international cups, numbers that reflect his consistency and longevity over several years at the club.

An ending that seems inevitable

The present situation shows that the paths of Corvalán and Unión are about to part ways. With no place in the coach’s plans and a current contract, the defender is going through a waiting period, negotiating his exit and considering alternatives.

The captain of an important era is no longer part of the new project. Now, the challenge will be to find the best possible agreement to close a chapter that was once prominent in Santa Fe and open a new page in his career.
