Colón race against the clock to free up a spot and sign Tomás González

The board of directors of Colón, led by José Alonso together with sporting director Diego Colotto and the representatives of coach Iván Delfino, is joining forces at the negotiating table with a clear objective: to secure the regulatory room that would allow the club to register one final signing in this transfer window. If they succeed, all efforts will be focused on finalizing the arrival of attacking midfielder Tomás González.

The maneuver to free up the slot

To open up a vacancy in the professional squad, El Sabalero is considering two concrete alternatives, according to Darío Pignata on ADN on Radio Gol 96.7:

The departure of Leandro Allende: The left-back is one of the players being targeted to leave El Sabalero.
The youth-player option: As a legal alternative, the club’s management is evaluating the termination or loan of a youth player who has met the regulatory requirement of completing 25% of the signed official team sheets.

Iván Delfino’s exclusive request

The “No. 10” targeted by the coaching staff is Tomás González, a 27-year-old attacking midfielder belonging to Estudiantes de Río Cuarto. The Sabalero coach considers him an indispensable piece for specific tactical reasons:

Previous familiarity: Delfino already coached him at the Córdoba-based “León,” where González was one of the standout figures of that spell.
A step up in quality: The coaching staff believes the midfielder brings the combination play, leadership, and creativity that the Santa Fe midfield is currently in urgent need of.

The keys to the negotiation

Contractual obstacle: González recently renewed his contract with Estudiantes de Río Cuarto until December 2026, which forces Colón to negotiate financial compensation to unlock his early departure.
