«Delighted to join a big club like Colón»: Franco García on Radio Gol | OneFootball

Forward Franco García gave an exclusive interview to Radio Gol after arriving in Santa Fe to officially become Colón’s first new signing of this transfer window. After a quick negotiation, the Córdoba-born winger passed his medical, signed with the club, and said he is excited about this challenge in his career.

“Honestly, I’m happy for the opportunity to join a big club like Colón. There were a few days of negotiations where we were able to move quickly, so I’m super happy,” the player admitted in his conversation with the outlet. His contract will run for 18 months and includes an exit clause at the end of this year.

Medrán’s backing and the Sabalero history

The former San Martín de Tucumán and Newell’s Old Boys player acknowledged that El Sabalero had been interested since the summer, but that this time Ezequiel Medrán’s call was decisive. “Today we were talking a bit with Medrán, he also wanted me here, so that helps you and motivates you,” García revealed.

The new winger’s characteristics

When introducing himself to the microphones, the attacker explained how he moves on the field and what tools he will bring to the team’s attack:

The objective and a direct message for the fans

García took the opportunity to leave a clear message for all Sabalero supporters, embracing the demands of wearing the red-and-black shirt in the quest to return to the top flight. The player highlighted the club’s stature by saying it is “a big club from the interior, with a lot of history, with a lot of people.”

To meet the fans’ expectations, the forward said the key will be getting back to basics: “We have to recover that identity everyone knows, the one it always used, so maybe try to convey that to the fans,”. With that competitive mindset, the new signing concluded by making it clear that his only goal is promotion: “That’s the main objective. I come with that mindset, with the best expectations, I want to give my all, go down in the club’s history, leave my mark, and well, by the end of the year, we can talk about achieving it.”
