Colón end contracts of Díaz, Jourdan and Sánchez before elections | OneFootball

Colón, with no competition and overdue salaries, has cut ties with Marcos Díaz, Federico Jourdan, and Facundo Sánchez. They join a growing list.

Colón is experiencing a heated week: with no current competition, three months of unpaid salaries, and the elections on Sunday the 30th looming, the club decided to release three players this Tuesday the 25th. These departures deepen the crisis and add to a list that keeps growing.

Departures and numbers

Tuesday brought three new departures. Marcos Díaz, who played 17 matches (1530 minutes) and conceded 14 goals in 2025, had already been separated from the squad by decision of Martín Minella. Federico Jourdan also left, having played 68 matches, scored 10 goals, and provided 4 assists since his arrival in 2024. The third departure was Facundo Sánchez, a 2025 signing who played 18 games without scoring.

A list that keeps growing

The latest three departures are not isolated cases. Colón had already terminated the contracts of Joel Soñora and José Barreto in previous weeks. And the situation could worsen: Brian Negro and Oscar Garrido are also under scrutiny and could join this chain of departures in the coming hours. The squad, hit both sportingly and financially, is going through uncertainty that is reflected in every move.

An institutional context fueling the tension

The debt of three months of salaries, the lack of official competition, and the succession of departures are heightening internal tensions. With the elections on Sunday the 30th just around the corner, the sporting discussion is mixed with politics: members are demanding explanations and candidates must answer for the club’s immediate present and future.

What’s at stake for Colón

As the squad shrinks and problems multiply, the club needs clear signals. The management must stabilize the finances, stop the exodus of contract terminations, and offer a sporting outlook that convinces both players and members. The next few hours could mark a turning point.
