Colón secure Mauro Peinipil: deal details and squad competition | OneFootball

When negotiations seemed to stall, Colón's management made a silent and decisive move to secure the addition of Mauro Peinipil. In the last few hours, a final agreement was reached for the right-back to join the club on a one-year loan.

Although the understanding with the player was quick, the operation had become complicated in the dialogue with Independiente Rivadavia, the club that owns Peinipil's transfer rights. The main hurdle to overcome was a debt carried over from Colón's previous management, related to the transfer of Paraguayan Jorge Sanguina, which the Mendoza club demanded to be settled as a condition to proceed.

Finally, after overcoming these financial differences and adjusting the numbers between both institutions, the deal was sealed. Now, the focus is on Peinipil's (26 years old) imminent arrival in Santa Fe. The schedule indicates that he will undergo the mandatory medical examination, sign his contract extending until December 2026, and be at the disposal of the coaching staff.

Medrán completes the right-back position

With this addition, coach Iván Delfino Medrán manages to cover a sensitive area of the field and now has his two options for the right-back position. The defender will immediately join the preseason and will have to compete for the starting position with Uruguayan Emanuel Beltrán.

Peinipil's arrival raises internal competition in that area of the field, while the option of defender Federico Pérez for that position seems to have been ruled out. Colón not only secures a strategic reinforcement but also resolves an outstanding administrative issue from the past.
