Not leaving?: The financial hurdle stalling Castro's Colón exit | OneFootball

Facundo Castro, who had emerged as one of the main candidates to leave the squad due to his limited playing time and poor performances, saw his transfer to Quilmes — a club he previously played for and where he left a good impression — come to a halt.

The reason for the hold-up is strictly financial. The “Cervecero” board is not willing to match the salary the forward currently earns in the Santa Fe capital. In fact, the formal offer sent from Buenos Aires only reaches half of the salary he receives at the red-and-black club.

Given this situation, according to what was reported on ADN by Radio Gol 96.7, the player’s stance is firm: if the offer does not meet his financial expectations, he will not pack his bags. Unless there is a major change in the numbers, Castro will remain in Santa Fe to see out his contract, which expires at the end of the year.

This decision creates a headache for head coach Ezequiel Medrán. The manager has already informed the striker that he will not be part of the plans for the second half of the championship, but the sabalero board will still have to keep paying one of the highest salaries in the squad without the player getting any minutes with the first team.
