His leaving is going to affect the club a lot since they need to find someone good enough to replace him in midfield. Rodríguez leaving isn’t just about his career but it’s also pretty important for South American football.
Exploring New Opportunities
Since he’s good at defending and can play different positions, Rodríguez deciding to try something new might get other clubs interested in him across South America. Before he was at Alianza Lima he played for Club Atlético Peñarol in Uruguay showing what he could do both in his country and internationally. His story is kind of like other players looking for new starts like Éder Ferreira Graminho who’s looking at options in Brazil and Qatar after leaving América Mineiro.
Impact on Alianza Lima

He always played good and was super important for how the team played and finding someone to replace him is gonna be really important for their next seasons. This whole thing is part of the bigger picture of players moving around in South America like when Raúl Ruidíaz left Seattle Sounders.
