Colón: Contract status of each player looking ahead to 2026

The end of the 2025 season forces Colón to make key decisions regarding its squad. Several players are reaching the end of their contracts and will need to be evaluated individually, considering both their performance on the field and the club's policy and the preferences of the new coaching staff.

The analysis is based on the information that becomes available, although everything will be conditioned by the elections taking place on November 30, as it will be the new management that makes the decisions, based on their strategic plan from a footballing perspective.

Cases with no possibility of continuity

Some players will not have a chance to stay at the club, regardless of who takes over:

Marcos Díaz, Gonzalo Bettini, Nicolás Fernández, Oscar Garrido, Emmanuel Gigliotti: will conclude their cycle at the Sabalero.
Facundo Sánchez, Joel Soñora, and José Barreto: their contracts are close to being terminated through early negotiations.
Federico Jourdan: although his contract ends, his sports performance does not support continuity.

Players with a possibility of staying

Other players could remain at Colón, provided the new management and the coach approve their continuity:

Guillermo Ortiz and Kevin Colli: well-regarded by the outgoing coach, they are the strongest cases for continuation.
Christian Bernardi: his future will depend on the club and his family situation; in any case, it would be his third season on loan, complicating his continuity.
Brian Negro: a possible attempt at continuity if Medrán remains in charge.

Special cases: homegrown players with strategic evaluation

Some players who emerged from the institution will have their situation defined by the new management:

Lautaro Laborie, Alex Aranda, and Conrado Ibarra: actively participated during the season, including call-ups and minutes as starters. Their continuity will depend on the evaluation of the new coaching staff and management.

Players with current contracts and possible exit

Additionally, there are players who still have contracts but could terminate them if deemed necessary:

Tomás Giménez, Nicolás Thaller, Gonzalo Soto, Cristian García, Facundo Castro, and Luis Miguel Rodríguez.
Facundo Castet, Nicolás Talpone, and Ignacio Lago: signings with investment in their contracts; their future will be decided by the new management and the coach.

Colón faces a squad restructuring process that combines sports and economic decisions. The evaluation one by one of the expiring contracts will allow defining who will stay, who will leave, and how the group of players who emerged from the institution will be managed, in a context where planning for the next season begins to take shape.
