Colón eye shock move: keen on ‘Perrito’ Barrios to wrap up the market | OneFootball

Although the Argentine football transfer window officially closes this Thursday, Colón is not stepping away from the market and is targeting a name that sparks excitement in the Sabalero world: Nahuel "Perrito" Barrios. Despite the negotiation being seen as "difficult" from an economic and contractual standpoint, the Santa Fe management has already made initial inquiries to try to add the talented midfielder from San Lorenzo.

The regulatory framework plays in favor of Iván Delfino's team. Although the general deadline ends tomorrow, the Sabalero has an extended slot until March 10. This benefit was activated after Nicolás Talpone's departure to Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, giving the club additional time to negotiate calmly and seek to unlock the arrival of the 27-year-old player.

The Present of "Perrito"

Nahuel Barrios is going through a transitional phase at San Lorenzo. While under Ruben Darío Insua's tenure he was an irreplaceable piece and the creative axis of the team, the rotation of coaches and changes in the scheme have taken away the absolute prominence he once had. Currently, the player is seeking more continuity to regain his best form, the one that made him one of the hardest players to mark in one-on-one situations in the local arena.

Statistics That Entice

Colón's interest is not coincidental. Barrios' profile fits the need for individual imbalance that the coaching staff is looking for:

The operation is complex due to the player's contract and market value, but in Santa Fe, they trust that Talpone's extra slot and the desire to gain more playing time will be the keys to securing what would be one of the most notable signings in the category.
