In July 2018, Rodríguez was loaned for a year to Club Atlético Belgrano for a net fee of US$50,000, with the option to purchase 50% of his economic rights for around $2.12 million. Halfway through his loan to the club from Córdoba, having played only eight games, his deal was rescinded by new manager Diego Osella.

During a training session in late August 2020, Rodríguez suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, an injury that was estimated to keep him out for 6–8 months. While recovering from his injury, in June 2021 Rodríguez was involved in a road accident after colliding with a police motorcycle. The police motorcycle involved was in pursuit of a third party before colliding with Rodríguez's car. As of February 2022, he had still not returned to play for Newell's.

On 22 August 2022, Rodríguez signed for Portuguese Liga 3 side Amora.
