Saravia misses Belgrano’s pre-season, are Unión fans starting to dream? | OneFootball

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

Saravia, sidelined at Belgrano

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

In Saravia's case, Belgrano's stance is clear. The midfielder, who came from FC Rostov in Russia and signed a contract last July 17 until December 2026, will not be considered, and when he shows up, he will train separately from the professional team until his departure is finalized. In practice, the Córdoba club has already decided to "shelve" him.

The 25-year-old Uruguayan accumulated minutes during the last semester: he started in two Copa Argentina matches (180 minutes) and played seven matches in the Torneo Clausura, totaling 670 minutes. However, this 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, an economic difference tipped the balance, 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.
