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

Facundo Castro, who had emerged as one of the main candidates to leave the squad due to his lack of playing time and poor performances, saw his transfer to Quilmes— a club where he previously played and 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 striker currently earns in the capital of Santa Fe province. In fact, the formal offer sent from Buenos Aires only amounts to half of what he is making 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 demands, he will not pack his bags. Unless there is a drastic 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 told the forward that he will not be part of the plans for the second half of the championship, but the Sabalero leadership will still have to keep paying one of the highest salaries in the squad without the player logging minutes with the first team.
