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

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

Offer details: The Uruguayan club offers a loan for one season with a financial fee and a purchase option at the end of the period. Colón's management is evaluating whether to accept a sale now, reject the proposal and speed up the renewal, or retain the player assuming the risk that he might leave for free.
Player's stance: Ignacio Lago's desire is to first extend his current contract with Colón, and then decide, together with all involved parties, what the best option for his future is. Lago's contractual situation, whose contract ends in December 2026, has been a topic of internal discussion at Colón in recent weeks.
Current situation at Colón: Colón's management had already initiated formal negotiations for Lago's contract renewal, with the aim of "shielding" one of its key players. The club's president, José Alonso, confirmed that talks with the player's entourage were about to begin.
