  • Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Pérez has mutually terminated his contract with Paraguayan club Olimpia.
  • Pérez is set to join Chilean club Unión La Calera on a one-year contract.
  • His tenure at Olimpia was marked by inconsistency and limited playing time, with 17 official appearances.

Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Pérez has ended his time with Olimpia, mutually agreeing to terminate his contract with the Paraguayan club. His move marks a departure after an inconsistent period where he struggled to establish himself in the team.

Pérez's immediate future lies in Chilean football, as he is slated to join Unión La Calera. Reports indicate the midfielder has reached a definitive agreement with Olimpia's management to end his contract, which was originally set to expire at the end of the season.

The decision concludes a tenure that began with expectations of strengthening Olimpia's midfield. However, Pérez's time at the club was characterized by a lack of consistent minutes and performance, preventing him from earning the full confidence of the coaching staff.

He departs Olimpia having played 17 official matches. During the previous Clausura tournament, he featured in 8 games, and in the recent Apertura tournament, where Olimpia secured the title, he made 9 appearances.

Unión La Calera, a first-division team in the Chilean Championship, awaits Pérez. He is expected to sign a full-season contract, aiming to regain the continuity and prominence he couldn't achieve in Paraguay.

The midfielder charrúa reached an agreement with the franjeada leadership to rescind his contract by mutual agreement.
