Accompanying Rodríguez in this new venture is Ariel Arauz, a midfielder from Herediano, who will also be joining Santos de Guápiles on loan.
This dual acquisition reflects a strategic decision by both Herediano and Santos to infuse fresh talent and experience into their respective squads.
The decision to integrate these players could significantly impact the dynamics of the Costa Rican football league, adding to the competitive landscape as teams prepare for the challenges of the season ahead.
