Colón to halt contract terminations until squad are paid up | OneFootball

In Colón, negotiations for the departures of the team have been put on hold. Until the players are up to date with their payments, it's unlikely there will be new contract terminations. The economic situation is affecting any movement, in a season's end that left much to reconsider.

The only exception was José Barreto, who agreed to leave despite having several months of unpaid wages, a decision not supported by the rest of the group, as no one wants to give up a single peso. Generally, the players' stance is clear: not signing anything until they receive what they're owed, after a disappointing campaign in which no one lived up to expectations.

So far, the last payment the team received was for July, and it is expected that a new payment will arrive before the holidays, as work will conclude this Friday at the June 4th facility.

Regarding departures, the first to leave was Joel Soñora, whose time was more noted for his golf outings than his performance on the field. Then, negotiations advanced with Cristian García, although his contract, valid until 2026, complicates the negotiation: the numbers don't add up, and there's also the debt to consider.

Since then, everything has stalled. The financial imbalance not only prevents agreeing on new terminations but also leaves open the question of how Colón will reorganize its team and accounts for a 2025 that looks full of problems and with elections on the horizon.
