Facundo Castet on Nueva Chicago's radar: is he leaving Colón? | OneFootball

The Primera Nacional transfer market is starting to heat up, and El Sabalero could suffer a major loss in its defensive structure. Facundo Castet, Colón’s left back, is on Nueva Chicago’s radar, as the club looks to strengthen its squad for the second half of the tournament.

The Mataderos club’s management has already opened formal talks with the player’s representatives to learn about his contract terms and assess the feasibility of a move.

Reasons behind the interest and Colón’s stance

Nueva Chicago’s head coach has identified Castet as a priority due to his defensive solidity and consistency. Given this situation, Colón’s board, led by Víctor Godano, is not ruling out sitting down to negotiate, as long as the financial offer is beneficial for the Santa Fe club.

At present, the left back is under contract with Colón. However, within the club from the Centenario neighborhood, it is being considered that if his departure is finalized, the coaching staff led by the Sabalero manager will be forced to go into the market in search of a quality replacement for the position, or else rely on the options already available in the current squad.

Castet’s performances for El Sabalero

Since arriving in Santa Fe, Facundo Castet quickly established himself in the starting eleven, becoming one of the team’s most consistent performers in the division. But lately he has lost a lot of ground, to the point that in several matches he was not even included on the substitutes’ bench, so his departure would not be a problem as long as El Torito takes him for a fee, allowing El Sabalero to recover some of what it originally invested in buying his rights from Sarmiento de Junín.

The next few hours will be key in determining whether Nueva Chicago moves forward with a formal and concrete offer, or whether the player ultimately chooses to stay in Santa Fe and see out his contract.
