Colón stand firm: Facundo Castro won’t leave for free, no Chicago bid | OneFootball

The management of Colón de Santa Fe has taken a firm and irreversible stance regarding the future of Facundo Castro. In response to rumors linking the forward with a possible return to Nueva Chicago, the Santa Fe club has made it clear that they will not allow any player to leave without financial compensation.

The club has confirmed that, so far, no formal offer has been received from the Mataderos team. They also emphasized that Castro is considered a key part of the sports project designed for the 2026 season, dismissing any intention of granting him a free transfer.

The role of representation and the player’s current situation

The controversy arose after the player’s agent, Adrián Palma, hinted at the possibility of seeking an exit for the striker. However, the response from the "Sabalero" was clear: the player has a valid contract and must fulfill it, unless a purchase or loan offer comes in that is financially beneficial for the club.

For now, the forward continues to train alongside his teammates under the coaching staff’s orders, focusing on the start of official competition.
