Maizon Rodríguez, a key player for Unión, has been transferred to FC Krasnodar in Russia. The 23-year-old defender played 37 games for Unión, scoring one goal and receiving five yellow cards. Rodríguez was sold to the Russian Premier League, with Unión retaining 50% of his economic rights.
The transfer leaves a gap in Unión's defence, which coach Leonardo Madelón and the club's management will need to address. Although the transfer frees up a spot, the close of the transfer window means Unión cannot immediately sign a replacement. However, the situation of Lautaro Vargas has opened up a possibility for Unión to sign a player from Argentine football, with Nazareno Colombo of Racing being mentioned as a potential candidate to fill the vacant position.
