AS reports on the imminent transfer of Peru Rodríguez to Cultural Leonesa. Rodríguez, the 23-year-old Spanish captain of Real Sociedad B, was seen in civilian clothes with the Cultural Leonesa squad before their match against Deportivo at the Reino de León. The sighting confirmed his imminent signing, ending the Leonese club's search for a defender after another option, Yoel Lago, did not materialize. Rodríguez, who has a current Transfermarkt market value of €600k, will join on a permanent basis, with the details of the agreement between the clubs yet to be disclosed. The defender is leaving Real Sociedad after many years in their youth system, aware that opportunities with the first team were not available to him. He departs Sanse, a direct rival to Cultural in the effort to remain in the same division, as an important defensive player who had played 20 matches this season, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist, 18 as a starter, despite his contract renewal having been uncertain until June 30.
