Crucial meeting: Lago’s agents and Colón chiefs discuss renewal | OneFootball

The president of Colón, José Alonso, is currently in a crucial meeting with Ignacio Lago's representative. Will there be an agreement?

The meeting will mark a turning point in a negotiation that has been ongoing for some time and now finds a more favorable scenario. There is very good willingness from both parties to reach an agreement that includes an update in line with the player's current status and the role he plays within the team.

The management's intention is not only to adjust the numbers but also to extend the contract that currently expires on December 31. The idea is to secure one of the players considered strategic for the sports project, preventing him from entering his last year of contract without a definitive resolution.

If the talks progress, Lago will become one of the best-paid players on the team, a recognition of his performance, consistency, and potential. The player's camp understands the economic situation the club is going through but also emphasizes that the contractual discrepancy has been pending since Colón executed the purchase option.

A year ago, the Sabalero acquired 50% of Lago's rights from Talleres de Córdoba, in a deal that involved a significant financial effort. However, at that time, the salary update that would accompany this contractual step was not completed.

This delay left the forward's contract below the team's average, despite his prominence within the team. Therefore, the upcoming meeting appears as the ideal opportunity to sort out the situation and plan for the long term.

Within the team, Lago is considered a key player, especially in a demanding category like the Primera Nacional, where individual skills often make a difference. His continuity has not only sporting value but also asset value.

With 45 official matches, 8 goals, and 5 assists in the last two seasons, the forward has established himself as an important piece in the team's structure. Securing him now would mean avoiding future risks and sending a clear signal of support to one of the strong names in the locker room.

The ball starts rolling in the offices. The first one-on-one between Alonso and Lago's representative could be the decisive step to close a negotiation that Colón needs to resolve as soon as possible, thinking about both the present and the future.
