Overview
- Melgar agreed to send the 26-year-old to San Lorenzo on a season-long loan that includes a purchase option, according to reports led by César Luis Merlo.
- Rodríguez is expected to travel to Argentina on January 18 for medical tests before signing his contract.
- Reynoso's appointment prompted a squad reordering at Melgar that reduced Rodríguez's role in attack.
- Melgar acquired 50% of Rodríguez's rights from Instituto in early 2025 for around $800,000, per local reporting.
- The forward tallied 4 goals in 37 official matches for Melgar, and the club views the loan as a chance for him to regain form and potentially set up a future sale.
