CSKA is getting closer to a new addition. The “Army“ are on the way to attract Facundo Rodriguez. The Argentine signed a new contract with Estudiantes until 2028 after the expiration of his current contract, which was until 2027. The defender is expected to arrive in Sofia and play on loan in the ranks of the “Reds“, reports the publication 0221.com.ar, reported BNT.
Rodriguez must specify the final details of his contracts with the “Reds” and remain in Sofia on loan for 18 months, as the understanding also includes an option to buy him from the Argentine club. It will eventually be at a higher price due to the new contract of the central defender with his previous club.
Facundo Rodriguez moved to Estudiantes in 2024 for a sum of 1,200,000 dollars. This year he has only 73 minutes of play for his team in the 4-0 victory over the modest Itusaingo in the Argentine Cup.
In 2025, Rodriguez has 41 matches for Estudiantes. His departure was made possible by the signing of Tomas Palacios, which made him the fourth choice for the center of defense after the new player, as well as the starters Leandro Gonzalez Pires and Santiago Nunez.
