Marcelo Eggel decides his future: “If I leave, it’ll suit us both” | OneFootball

Colón is moving away from the possibility of signing Marcelo Eggel, the Deportivo Maipú midfielder who was the club’s top target for the transfer window. The Mendoza-born midfielder is one of the most sought-after players in the Primera Nacional, and his current priority is to make the jump to the First Division, having already received firm interest from Platense.

The player himself broke his silence in recent hours and sought to ease concerns about his future, though he avoided giving any definite answers. “I’m calm, we’ll see what happens, whether I have to stay or leave. If I do end up leaving, it will surely be because it suits both the club and me,” Eggel said, adding that he will resolve his situation over the course of this week after meeting with those close to him.

The chances of the midfielder arriving in the Centenario neighborhood have dropped dramatically due to his desire to play in the top flight and the high financial cost of his transfer. Faced with this complication, Colón’s leadership immediately reactivated Plan B and stepped up efforts for a familiar name: Rubén Botta.

The experienced playmaker has the full approval of head coach Ezequiel Medrán. The board believes that Botta’s qualities and pedigree are ideal for strengthening the attacking midfield area and providing the necessary options for the second half of the Primera Nacional season.
