End of an era: Claudio Corvalán to leave Unión and join Quilmes | OneFootball

The full-back agreed on the terms of termination with Unión and only the signature is missing for Quilmes to finalize his return to the club where he already played.

The long saga about the future of Claudio Corvalán is starting to find a conclusion. The defender agreed with Unión on the terms of his contract termination and is one step away from finalizing his return to Quilmes.

After weeks of negotiations, the experienced full-back managed to bridge the gap with the red-and-white management. Unión offered to pay two or three months' salary as part of the termination agreement, while the player was seeking a higher amount, close to six months. Finally, an understanding was reached, and the deal is on track to be closed, although it is still unknown which strategy prevailed.

Corvalán, who at the beginning of 2025 had renewed his contract for two seasons, had a valid contract until December 2027. However, the sporting situation changed significantly recently, since the arrival of Leonardo Madelón, the defender started to lose prominence within the team.

His last official match was on October 3, 2025, when he came on at the 89th minute in the 2-0 defeat against Aldosivi, replacing Mateo del Blanco. Additionally, he has not been a starter since April 28, 2025, a match in which Unión lost 2-1 against Barracas Central, where he also took Mateo's place. This lack of continuity was decisive for the Unión coach to decide not to consider him for the 2026 season.

The most likely destination was always Quilmes, a club where Corvalán already had a previous stint and left a good impression. At the Cervecero, there is concrete interest in adding him for a second cycle, although for several days the negotiation seemed to cool down. That feeling, however, was just a pause. Today, only one last conversation between the player's representation and Quilmes' management is needed to finalize the agreement. If no unforeseen issues arise, the defender will leave Unión shortly.
