Colón push ahead with Bautista Maillier’s first professional contract | OneFootball

The youth project of Colón continues to take firm steps. In recent hours, it has emerged that the club is finalizing details for the signing of the first professional contract for Bautista Maillier, one of the gems of the Sabalero academy.

Maillier, born in 2006, is an internal midfielder or "playmaker," with very good technique and vision. Originally from Santo Tomé, he joined the club's youth divisions at just 12 years old, and since then has shown constant evolution until earning his place in the Reserve team.

During this season, the midfielder played seven matches in the team led by Martín Minella: he was a starter in five, came off the bench in two, and was substituted on a couple of occasions. His performance has led him to be considered by the professional team's coaching staff.

In fact, in April of this year, he was called up for the first time to join the First Division squad, in Colón's defeat against Chacarita in San Martín—a match that marked the end of Ariel Pereyra's tenure as coach. In that game, Maillier was on the substitute bench.

The club, which has been working on securing the future of its young talents, now seeks to formalize its relationship with a player who combines technique, intelligence, and tactical sense, attributes that position him as one of the most promising prospects from the youth divisions.

With this step, Colón continues to strengthen its policy of youth development and support, with the aim of protecting the assets of the players emerging from the Predio 4 de Junio and giving them projection within the professional football project.
