América de Cali eye up José Neris, but Colón remain unconvinced for now | OneFootball

An alarm went off in Santa Fe, but it came as no surprise to anyone. José Neris has reappeared on the transfer market radar, and this time it was América de Cali who made a move with an offer, but it failed to tempt Colón, who owns 65% of his rights.

The Colombian club targeted the Uruguayan striker as a key piece for their sports project and thus took the first formal step. However, the numbers didn’t add up. In Santa Fe, they believe the striker’s value is different and, above all, that the current context encourages them to wait.

But be careful, because sources in Colombia suggest that the Red will come back with a renewed push and a better offer. Colón knows this and is rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Neris’s time at the Sabalero is over, with a stint that lacked impact and goals to back him up, and the club’s management has decided to capitalize on his departure rather than prolong a chapter that has no way back.

The key detail that changes everything lies in his recent past: Neris exploded at Montevideo City Torque, scoring 16 goals in 34 matches—numbers that still carry weight and now serve as leverage in a negotiation that promises more chapters. With the market in motion and an interested party determined to persist, Colón is playing its hand coolly. They’re not rushing, not giving anything away, and waiting.
