Linked with Santa Fe, signed for Madryn and could debut v Colón | OneFootball

The Primera Nacional transfer market remains red-hot and continues to bring major moves. In the last few hours, it was confirmed that experienced left-back Lucas Diarte has officially become a new Deportivo Madryn player.

The defender managed to finalize his departure from San Martín de Tucumán and, after passing his medical, signed an 18-month contract that will keep him with the Aurinegro until December 2027.

The full-back who was on Colón’s radar

Diarte’s arrival in the south of the country has caused a strong impact in Santa Fe, since the player was part of the list of options Colón’s board was considering to strengthen the left flank. Given the Sabalero’s need to add alternatives in that area, the Tucumán native’s name had been strongly linked with the Elephant Cemetery in recent weeks.

However, the negotiations did not move forward, and Deportivo Madryn acted more quickly to secure one of the most sought-after players in the division.

Experience for the Aurinegro and a showdown ahead

At 33, Diarte brings key experience for the promotion campaign, having played for Estudiantes de La Plata, Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero, Belgrano de Córdoba, and Melgar of Peru. Curiously, Diarte’s debut in his new jersey could come against the very club that wanted him: Deportivo Madryn will host Colón next weekend in a direct clash where the brand-new Aurinegro signing will already be available to the coaching staff.
