❌Cross him off the list: Colo Colo’s target who won’t be joining | OneFootball

The unexpected sale of Lucas Cepeda to Elche in Spain has disrupted Colo Colo's plans. Although the club considered the squad complete after the additions of Maximiliano Romero, Joaquín Sosa, Javier Méndez, and Matías Fernández Cordero, the departure of one of its key players forces the management to seek a last-minute replacement for the 2026 season.

In response to this urgency, the name Jordhy Thompson has started to resonate strongly among the Colo Colo fans. The supporters are calling for the return of the winger to have a "revenge" at the Estadio Monumental, motivated by his good performance in the Russian Premier League with FC Orenburg.

Thompson: A return ruled out for now

Despite the enthusiasm on social media, the possibility of seeing Thompson again in the "Cacique" jersey has been dismissed. According to journalist Christopher Brandt, the operation is unfeasible in this market for two fundamental reasons.

For now, no board member has formally proposed his name. And FC Orenburg's stance is that they have no intention of parting with the Chilean player at this time.

For now, Blanco y Negro will have to broaden their search horizons. Meanwhile, Thompson will remain in the Old Continent, despite having previously expressed his interest in a second chance at the club that developed him.
