Colón transfer twist: Bravo out, club to push for Rasmussen | OneFootball

As the transfer market enters the decisive stage, at Colón all attention is focused on a specific goal: bringing in a left-footed center back to provide the final balance to the back line. With the arrival of Kevin López confirmed, both the management and the coaching staff agree that the defense needs one more piece to be complete.

In this context, the management shifted its negotiations, ruled out interest in Agustín Bravo, and concentrated all efforts on a single name: Federico Rasmussen.

Rasmussen, advanced negotiations and a major financial effort by Colón The one with the greatest chance of being finalized today is Federico Rasmussen, defender for Godoy Cruz. His name gained traction for several reasons: recent experience in the First Division, international exposure, and above all, his history as a teammate of Pier Barrios in Mendoza, where together they formed a partnership that left a good impression.

The main obstacle was financial, since the Mendoza club was clear: there will be no departures without incoming funds, and their demand is that Colón buys 50% of the rights. Nevertheless, the Sabalero management, aware of the urgency and the coaching staff’s wishes, decided to make a major financial effort to bring the parties closer together, and it is expected that the deal could be closed in the next few hours this Monday.

Rasmussen, who initially hoped to remain in the top division, currently has no firm offers to do so, a situation that tipped the scales in favor of Sabalero.

Bravo, ruled out

Ezequiel Medrán’s footballing preference had a name and surname: Agustín Bravo. The young left-footed defender belongs to Rosario Central and is currently part of Instituto’s squad.

However, his departure depended on a complex negotiation involving two clubs and contractual conditions that were not resolved in time. Faced with the need to speed things up, Colón decided to rule out this option.

Silva, the high-profile option still on the table

The third name on the list is Uruguayan Gastón Silva, a defender with extensive experience who can play as a center back or left back. With a notable past at Independiente, where he won international titles, and experience in Europe and Mexico, his résumé speaks for itself.

His situation is not easy financially, but at Colón he is considered a high-profile option if the Rasmussen deal becomes complicated at the last minute. His international experience and time with the Uruguayan national team make him a strong candidate, although more difficult to secure.

A decision that can’t wait

In Santa Fe, it’s clear that time is of the essence. The coaching staff wants to have the reinforcement as soon as possible to integrate him into the team’s dynamics and avoid a last-minute adaptation process.

Efforts are focused on Rasmussen, with the expectation of closing the deal today.
