Crucial hours as a new signing closes in at Colón | OneFootball

Colón is going through the final hours of the transfer window with the need to secure a signing to fill the spot left by Leandro Allende, who will continue his career at Guaraní of Paraguay. The deadline to bring in a new player expires this Wednesday at 6 p.m., and the club’s leadership is working against the clock to fulfill a specific request from Iván Delfino.

The main target had been Tomás González, an attacking midfielder for Estudiantes de Río Cuarto and a player the current Colón coach knows very well. Delfino coached him during his time with the Córdoba-based side and believed he could quickly adapt to his team’s needs.

However, González decided to stay at Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, and that option was ruled out. Given this situation, Colón had to quickly activate another alternative, and Jonás Acevedo, currently at Instituto de Córdoba, emerged as an option.

Jonás Acevedo, the last-minute alternative that emerged for Colón

Acevedo is a 29-year-old player born in Concarán, San Luis, who can play as a creative midfielder or left winger. He is a player with extensive experience in Argentine football, having played for San Lorenzo, Ramón Santamarina, Quilmes, Huracán, Patronato, and Instituto.

In fact, Delfino already knows him from his time as Patronato’s coach, so there is a previous connection that could prove important when evaluating his arrival in Santa Fe.

In addition, Acevedo was also linked with Diego Colotto during his time as Quilmes’ sporting director, another point of contact in the negotiations being carried out by Colón.

As for his characteristics, he is an attacking player who can operate behind the strikers, although he can also start out wide. That versatility is one of the aspects that appeals to the coaching staff.

A negotiation with differences between Colón, Instituto, and Acevedo

The main obstacle to Acevedo becoming a Colón player is the financial issue. There are significant differences between the parties, and the next few hours will be decisive in determining whether they can reach an agreement before the transfer window closes.

Colón wants to resolve the situation as soon as possible, since the deadline to add signings expires at 6 p.m. and there will not be much room to prolong the negotiations.
