Nicolás Talpone joins Estudiantes de Río Cuarto from Colón | OneFootball

The left-footed midfielder signed his return to León right in the final stretch of building the squad. The Celeste will debut on Sunday against Tigre, with staying in the division as the main objective.

Estudiantes de Río Cuarto continues to move decisively in its return to the First Division and, in the midst of a preseason full of expectations, has finalized a signing that brings more than just a smile to the fans. Nicolás Talpone has put pen to paper and will wear the León jersey once again, in a move that combines a sense of belonging, experience, and the need to add quality for a tournament that never lets up.

Talpone, a 29-year-old left-footed midfielder, knows the club, the city, and the pulse of its people. He already left a good impression during his previous stint and now returns from Colón de Santa Fe to take on a bigger challenge: playing in the First Division with Estudiantes and helping the club achieve its main goal of the year—staying up.

Trained at Estudiantes de La Plata and with spells at Agropecuario and Atlanta, the midfielder arrives at a moment of footballing maturity and with his hunger intact. He’s not just another reinforcement: he’s a familiar face returning when he’s needed most.

León doesn’t stop. In recent days, they also announced central defender Matías Valenti, Copa Argentina champion with Independiente Rivadavia, and have already added a long list of new faces to strengthen every line. The management got the message: to compete in the First Division, you need to build a deep squad, with options and names that can handle the demands.

Meanwhile, the calendar already marks the first test. Estudiantes will be in Group B and will debut on Sunday, January 25 at 10:15 p.m., away against Tigre. It will be their official debut in the top flight, with everything that entails: nerves, excitement, and the certainty that every point is worth gold.

Big-time football is in the air in Río Cuarto. The transfer window is still open, the squad is taking shape, and the dream is already underway. With Talpone back home and the First Division debut just around the corner, Estudiantes is getting ready to write a new chapter in its history, with its feet on the ground and its hopes intact.
