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

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

The Mataderos club’s management has already begun formal contact with the player’s representatives to learn about his contract terms and assess the feasibility of his signing.

The reasons behind the interest and Colón’s stance

Nueva Chicago’s head coach has identified Castet as a priority because of 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 institution.

The left-back is currently under contract with Colón. However, within the environment of the Barrio Centenario club, 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 to look for a quality replacement for the position, or else rely on the alternatives already available in the current squad.

Castet’s performance at the 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 great deal 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 in exchange for money, allowing the Sabalero to recover some of what it once invested in buying his registration 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.
