Saravia misses Belgrano’s pre-season, are Unión fans dreaming? | OneFootball

The preseason for Belgrano de Córdoba is progressing, but one of the most sensitive situations within the team remains unresolved. Rodrigo Saravia has once again been absent from training, and his future with the Pirata seems definitively doomed. In this scenario, Unión reemerges as a possible destination for a midfielder who has already been directed and valued by Leonardo Madelón.

Saravia, sidelined at Belgrano

The second day of work for Ricardo Zielinski's team passed without any new signings, but with the confirmation of absences that are beginning to indicate strong decisions. Under the intense December sun at the Armando Pérez facility, the team trained normally under the guidance of physical trainer Alfonso Meoni, although without the presence of the Uruguayan central midfielder Saravia or the lateral Gabriel Compagnucci, both pointed out by the coaching staff.

In Saravia's case, Belgrano's stance is clear. The midfielder, who arrived from FC Rostov in Russia and signed a contract on July 17th last year until December 2026, will not be considered, and when he does show up, he will train separately, apart from the professional squad, until his departure is finalized. In effect, the Cordoban club has already decided to "shelve" him.

The 25-year-old Uruguayan accumulated minutes during the last semester: he was a starter in two Copa Argentina matches (180 minutes) and played seven matches in the Torneo Clausura, totaling 670 minutes. However, that participation was not enough to consolidate him in the coaching staff's consideration, nor to sustain a relationship that today appears worn out.

Unión, alert to Saravia's situation

This context brings Unión back into the picture. The Santa Fe club had already sought him in the previous transfer market when Leonardo Madelón —the current rojiblanco coach— expressly requested him. The coach knows him well from his time at Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, where Saravia was a key figure in the midfield. Back then, a financial difference tipped the scales, and the player ended up joining Belgrano.

With a contract valid until December 31, 2026, and his registration managed by MMR Sports Group, Saravia needs an exit that will restore his continuity and prominence. Unión, which remains attentive to market opportunities and seeks to enhance its midfield, once again appears as a central player in a story that, for now, is simmering slowly but promises new chapters.
