Peñarol bid for Ignacio Lago, Colón and player consider next move

Peñarol of Uruguay has submitted a formal offer to Colón to sign forward Ignacio Lago. The proposal, which includes a one-season loan with a fee and a purchase option, is currently being reviewed by the management of the Santa Fe club.

Offer details: The Uruguayan club is offering a one-season loan with a financial fee and a purchase option at the end of the period. Colón’s management is considering whether to accept a sale now, reject the proposal and speed up the renewal, or retain the player while assuming the risk that he could leave on a free transfer.
Player’s stance: Ignacio Lago’s wish is to first extend his current contract with Colón, and then, together with all parties involved, decide what is the best option for his future. Lago’s contractual situation, with his current deal expiring in December 2026, has been a topic of internal discussion at Colón in recent weeks.
Current situation at Colón: Colón’s management had already begun formal negotiations to renew Lago’s contract, aiming to “secure” one of its key players. The club’s president, José Alonso, confirmed that talks with the player’s representatives were about to begin.
