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

As the transfer market enters the decision-making phase, Colón's attention is focused on a specific goal: to incorporate a left-footed central defender who can provide definitive balance to the backline. With the arrival of Kevin López confirmed, the management and coaching staff agree that the defense needs one more piece to be complete.

In this context, the management shifted their negotiations, dismissed interest in Agustín Bravo, and concentrated all their efforts on one name: Federico Rasmussen.

Rasmussen, advanced negotiation and a great economic effort by Colón The one with the greatest chances of being finalized today is Federico Rasmussen, a defender from Godoy Cruz. His name gained strength due to several factors: recent experience in the First Division, international exposure, and above all, his background as a teammate of Pier Barrios in Mendoza, where they formed a duo that left good references.

The main obstacle was financial, as the Mendoza club was clear: there will be no departures without financial compensation, and the expectation is that Colón buys 50% of the transfer rights. Nevertheless, the Sabalero management, aware of the urgency and the coaching staff's desire, decided to make a significant financial effort to bring the parties closer, and it is expected that the transfer could be finalized in the next few hours this Monday.

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

Bravo, dismissed

Ezequiel Medrán's football preference had a name: 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 up, Colón decided to dismiss 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 central 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 Colón considers him a high-profile option if the negotiation for Rasmussen becomes complicated at the last moment. His international experience and his time with the Uruguayan national team make him a strong card, although more difficult to finalize.

A decision that cannot wait

In Santa Fe, they are 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.

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