Argentine midfielder Claudio Aquino broke his silence in a candid interview with Radio Cooperativa. A year and a half after arriving at the Monumental Stadium, the former Vélez Sarsfield player offered a sincere self-assessment of his performances. Despite recording 8 goals and 7 assists in 51 matches, the 34-year-old midfielder admitted he is not satisfied: "I know there are things I need to improve; I work day by day to find my best version," he said.

The challenge of adapting

Aquino, who was named the best player in the Argentine league in 2024, admitted that the transition to Chilean football has been more complex than expected. "It’s not easy to adapt to another league, but I think I’ll keep improving more and more," explained the Albos' No. 10, focused on regaining the level that brought him to the "Cacique" for the centennial.

Renewal on the horizon?

With his contract set to expire in December 2026, the future of the Argentine is uncertain. However, Aquino left the door open to staying in Pedrero: "Colo Colo is a beautiful and enormous club. If the possibility is there, we’ll look at it; obviously I’d like that."
