Lago’s agents meet Colón board to discuss contract renewal | OneFootball

The president of Colón, José Alonso, is currently holding a key meeting with Ignacio Lago’s representative. Will there be an agreement?

This meeting will mark a turning point in a negotiation that has been dragging on for some time and now finds itself in a more favorable scenario. There is very good predisposition from both sides to reach an agreement that includes an update in line with the player’s current situation and the role he occupies within the team.

The management’s intention is not only to adjust the numbers, but also to extend the contract that currently expires on December 31. The idea is to secure one of the players considered strategic for the sports project, avoiding him entering his final year under contract without a definitive resolution.

If the talks progress, Lago will become one of the best-paid players on the squad, a recognition of his performance, consistency, and potential. The player’s camp understands the club’s current financial situation, but also points out that the contractual adjustment has been pending since the moment Colón exercised the purchase option.

A year ago, Sabalero acquired 50% of Lago’s rights from Talleres de Córdoba, in a deal that required significant financial effort. However, at that time, the salary update to accompany that contractual step was not implemented.

This delay left the forward’s contract below the squad average, despite his prominence within the team. That’s why the upcoming meeting appears to be the ideal opportunity to sort out the situation and plan for the long term.

Within the squad, Lago is considered a decisive player, especially with a demanding league like the Primera Nacional in mind, where individual talent often makes the difference. His continuity is valuable not only from a sporting perspective, but also as an asset.

With 45 official matches, 8 goals, and 5 assists over the last two seasons, the forward has established himself as an important piece in the team’s structure. Securing him now would mean avoiding future risks and sending a clear signal of support to one of the key figures in the locker room.

The ball is starting to roll in the offices. The first face-to-face between Alonso and Lago’s representative could be the decisive step to close a negotiation that Colón needs to resolve as soon as possible, thinking about both the present and the future.
