Saravia back on Unión’s radar after Belgrano exit | OneFootball

Rodrigo Saravia reappears on the scene as a concrete possibility for Unión. The Uruguayan midfielder, who had already been sought after by Leonardo Madelón in the previous transfer window, has been sidelined at Belgrano and his immediate future seems to be far from Córdoba, a context that reopens the chance for the Tatengue to make another move.

The interest is not new. Madelón knows the central midfielder well from his time at Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata and at the time considered him a suitable profile to strengthen the midfield. Now, with a different scenario and the player without a place in his current club, the alternative is gaining strength again.

Belgrano declared him expendable

According to La Voz del Interior, Belgrano’s coach Ricardo Zielinski was clear after the start of preseason at the Armando Pérez facility: both Saravia and Gabriel Compagnucci will not be considered. Both players did not show up for the start of training and, by not rejoining, were directly excluded from the sporting project.

In this way, Saravia joined the list of players whom the club has already notified to look for a new destination, along with names like Aníbal Leguizamón, Tobías Ostchega, Agustín Baldi, and Ignacio Chicco.

A different case from Compagnucci

Unlike Compagnucci — whose departure is explained by a contract negotiation that fell through — Saravia’s situation is due to a strictly football-related evaluation. The Uruguayan midfielder, who arrived at Belgrano in the middle of this year, failed to convince the coaching staff and his continuity began to be questioned weeks ago.

In fact, the club itself had hinted at the possibility of another conversation with the player to redefine his role, but his absence from the first training sessions sealed his exit from Zielinski’s plans.

Unión observes and Madelón takes note

This new scenario has not gone unnoticed in Santa Fe. Unión remains attentive to the evolution of the case and values the context: a player without a place, with prior knowledge of the coach, and with a departure that could be resolved on accessible terms.
