Corvalán out of favour, Quilmes and Godoy Cruz keeping tabs 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 an unknown and has become a certainty. The defender, who was captain and one of the key figures during Cristian “Kily” González's tenure, is definitely out of Leonardo Madelón's plans, who informed the player after the end of the 2025 season that he will not be considered for the next year.

The scenario was anticipated in the second part of last year when Corvalán lost ground and prominence, but now the decision is conclusive and marks the end of a long chapter at the red-and-white club.

Training separately and awaiting a resolution

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

What is clear is that Madelón will not consider him for football reasons, so the defender is seeking an early exit. To do so, he must reach an agreement with the management regarding the remaining months of his contract, a crucial step to determine his next destination.

The market starts to move

In the sports arena, Corvalán's name has already started to circulate. Quilmes, the club where he was trained, appears as one of the concrete possibilities, while Godoy Cruz also has him on their list, as part of an ambitious squad building with the clear objective 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 continuity.

An extensive stage and numbers that back him up

Beyond the outcome, Corvalán leaves a significant mark at Unión. Since his arrival, he has been a key player in various cycles 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 relevance over several years at the club.

An inevitable closure

The present indicates that the path of Corvalán and Unión is about to diverge. With no place in the coach's plans and a valid contract, the defender is in a waiting period, negotiating his departure 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 cycle that was a protagonist in Santa Fe and open a new chapter in his career.
