Colón’s three new faces and reshuffle after winter window shuts

Club Atlético Colón formally wrapped up its activity in the Primera Nacional winter transfer window. After the regulatory deadline expired, the Santa Fe club completed a squad overhaul that included three new signings, three departures, and a series of negotiations that ultimately fell through.

Sabalero’s arrivals

The club’s board used three slots to strengthen different areas of the team managed by Ezequiel Medrán, adding options in defense, playmaking, and attack:

Franco García: A winger with an attacking mindset, brought in to provide flair and one-on-one ability out wide.
Leandro Garate: A traditional center forward to boost the squad’s goal-scoring output.
Gabriel Risso Patrón: A 30-year-old left back who arrives to reinforce the defensive structure.

Departures from the squad

On the other hand, three players left the club after agreeing to terminate their contracts by mutual consent or ending their deals early:

Facundo Castro: He obtained his release and signed for Nueva Chicago.
Lucas Cano: He left as a free agent and will continue his career at All Boys.
Matías Godoy: He cut short his loan spell early (his registration belongs to Estudiantes de La Plata) and agreed to join Aldosivi of Mar del Plata.

Failed negotiations

The transfer window made clear the board’s intense effort to use up all the permitted slots. The club held formal talks and made last-minute moves for several well-known players that ultimately could not be completed. Among the failed deals were those involving Rubén Botta, Nicolás Reniero, Jeremías Lucco, Bruno Nasta, Jonathan Herrera, Santiago Rosales, and Marcelo Eggel.
