Marcelo Eggel on his future: ‘If I go, it suits us both’ | OneFootball

Colón is moving away from the possibility of signing Marcelo Eggel, the Deportivo Maipú midfielder who was the club’s top target for the transfer window. The Mendoza-born midfielder is one of the most sought-after players in the Primera Nacional, and his current priority is to make the jump to the First Division, having already received serious inquiries from Platense.

The player himself broke his silence in recent hours and brought some calm regarding his future, although he avoided giving any definite answers. “I’m calm, we’ll see what happens, whether I have to stay or leave. If I do leave, it will surely be because it suits both the club and me,” said Eggel, who also clarified that he will resolve his situation during the course of this week after meeting with his inner circle.

The chances of the midfielder arriving in the Centenario neighborhood have dropped dramatically due to his desire to play in the top flight and the high financial cost his transfer would involve. Faced with this complication, Colón’s management immediately reactivated Plan B and intensified efforts for a familiar name: Rubén Botta.

The experienced playmaker has the full approval of head coach Ezequiel Medrán. The board believes that Botta’s qualities and stature are ideal for strengthening the attacking midfield area and providing the necessary alternatives for the second half of the Primera Nacional season.
