Quilmes eyeing 2026, target Barreto as he prepares to leave Colón | OneFootball

Quilmes is going through a complex moment, with a transfer ban that prevents them from bringing in players, but they’re still undertaking a squad overhaul and already planning for next year. With Alfredo Grelak confirmed as coach, the board is analyzing names to renew the team, and one of the targets is José Barreto, who is about to terminate his contract with Colón.

The player’s exit is at a notary’s office, although the procedure is taking longer than expected, creating some uncertainty. The main issue lies in the fact that, with two months left on his contract, few players are willing to give up money in this context.

Barreto was coached by Grelak at San Telmo, where he had an impressive campaign, which explains the coach’s interest in bringing him in again. However, his move to Quilmes depends on the attacker finalizing his separation from the Sabalero—where he failed to establish himself—and on the Cervecero managing to lift the transfer ban to register new players.

A scenario that reflects the situation of two teams that were knocked out of competition earlier than expected and are already thinking about how to rebuild for next year.
