Unión have already banked Maizon Rodríguez's Krasnodar fee | OneFootball

Unión completed one of its most important deals of recent years and, as has been confirmed, the money from Maizon Rodríguez’s sale to Russia’s Krasnodar has already entered the club’s coffers.

The transfer of the Uruguayan defender was finalized for a figure close to 5 million euros, including taxes. Of that amount, Unión owns 50% of the player, while the other half belonged to Juventud de Las Piedras, the center back’s original club.

The agreement represented a major financial benefit for the Santa Fe institution, which had acquired 50% of Rodríguez’s economic rights in 2025. In that deal, Unión paid around 825,000 dollars to secure half of the player’s rights.

Now, with the transfer to Krasnodar completed and the money credited, Tatengue secures significant income from a deal that has become one of the most important moves in its recent history.

The particularity of the agreement is that Juventud de Las Piedras is also part of the deal, having retained the other half of the player’s economic rights. For that reason, the income generated by the sale must be distributed between both institutions according to the agreed percentages.

The operation also represents another example of Unión’s policy of betting on young footballers with resale potential. Rodríguez arrived from Uruguayan football, quickly established himself in the first team and, just a year later, made the jump to European football.

With the money already received, the red-and-white leadership thus adds important financial backing to the club’s coffers, while Leonardo Madelón’s coaching staff will have to face the sporting challenge of replacing a defender who had become an important piece of the team.

Maizon Rodríguez’s sale to Krasnodar not only brought in millions for Unión: it also confirmed the growth of the Uruguayan center back and allowed the Santa Fe club to complete another significant deal in the transfer market.
