Colón step up move for Rubén Botta: waiting on Defensa call | OneFootball

Colón has started moving strongly in the transfer market, and one of the names emerging as a priority to strengthen the squad for the second half of the year is Rubén Botta. In fact, there have already been contacts between president José Alonso, the player’s agent, and even the player himself, who would look favorably on returning to Santa Fe to wear the red-and-black jersey once again.

However, the possible arrival of the experienced attacking midfielder depends on some important factors. The first is related to his situation at Defensa y Justicia. Although the previous coaching staff had already informed him that he would not be part of their plans, the outlook changed after Julio Vaccari arrived as the new coach of El Halcón.

For that reason, before moving forward with any negotiation, Botta will have to speak with the newly appointed manager to find out whether he will be included in the sporting project. If he is not in Vaccari’s plans, the chances of a return to Colón would increase considerably.

In addition, there is also a family matter that will have to be resolved. After his time at Talleres de Córdoba, Botta reorganized his family’s life and recently moved his daughters to Buenos Aires so they could continue their studies. In that regard, people at Colón understand that they could help facilitate a possible move to Santa Fe by assisting with matters related to the girls’ schooling.

Rubén Botta’s name is currently among El Sabalero’s main targets to strengthen the team. Along with forward Jonathan Herrera, they are the two players the club’s leadership is focused on to bolster the squad in search of a better second half of the season.

On the other hand, there had also been interest in Marcelo Eggel, although his future could lie in Chilean football. In addition, within the sporting evaluation they believe his characteristics are similar to Botta’s, so it seems unlikely that Colón will pursue both players at the same time.
