“When Nacho discovered Colón, what it meant within Argentine football and what it stirred in him as well, he had no doubts about renewing.”
“It was never in his head to leave on a free, not at all. Quite the opposite. It never crossed our minds to leave now or sign now in order to leave in December in a way that isn’t right.”
“He always wanted to stay because, obviously, the affection the fans showed him is what moves him, what drives him, what encourages him; in the difficult moment, they didn’t insult him.”
“Alonso made a very important gesture, without anyone asking him to, which was to bump Nacho’s salary up a bit. That was surprising. I always said Nacho plays for the shirt, and suddenly those gestures are important.”
“He’s going to have a release clause, and it’s an important one because, obviously, he’s a player who at 23 already has significant maturity, and we know he’s ready to take a step up. I feel there will be a transfer, and that will also be good for Colón’s finances.”
The reasons for the delay in signing: “They came into a Colón with people four paychecks behind, club employees, players who were not going to stay. They had a lot of things to sort out and weren’t paying attention to the player’s salary. Then, when an offer from La U arrived, that’s when they started to take another look.”
