If Allende goes, Colón want a No 10 and look to Río Cuarto

The Colón leadership continues to move actively in the current transfer market and has already decided what its next tactical priority will be if it frees up a spot in the first-team squad. If the club manages to complete the transfer of Leandro Allende (who is in talks amid interest from Gimnasia de Mendoza), all efforts will be focused on signing a creative midfielder.

Iván Delfino’s target

The name chosen by the coaching staff led by Iván Delfino is Tomás González, a 27-year-old attacking midfielder who plays for Estudiantes de Río Cuarto.

The Sabalero coach knows González’s qualities perfectly, since he was a key piece under his command during the great campaign that took the Córdoba-based «León» to the top flight of Argentine football. The manager believes that the «10» has exactly the qualities needed to bring the added quality, leadership, and combination play that his team’s midfield is currently lacking.

Keys to the negotiation

The contractual obstacle: The midfielder signed an extension with the Córdoba club through December 2026. For that reason, Colón will have to sit down and negotiate a financial agreement with their counterparts in Río Cuarto to secure an early departure.
The Allende factor: Formal moves for the playmaker will begin once Allende’s departure is made official, which will provide the financial room and the roster spot needed to make a signing.

With interest from both sides on the table, the next few hours will be crucial in the Santa Fe capital to see whether the arrival of the new tactical leader for the Sabalero is definitively set in motion.
