Colón wait: José Neris returns to Uruguay to play for Defensor Sporting | OneFootball

José Neris’ present is far from what he had imagined when he decided to put an end to his time at Colón. In the midst of the dispute he is facing before FIFA, the striker returns to Uruguay to wear the colors of Defensor Sporting.

After terminating his contract with El Sabalero and joining Emelec, the forward also failed to establish himself in Ecuadorian football, where he did not score in 14 matches. That is why El Eléctrico agreed to loan him to the purple side until December, in a deal that is still awaiting official confirmation.

The player himself explained the reasons for his return to his country. “I have a three-year contract with Emelec and this loan until December came up. I’m returning because of something personal that happened to me in recent months, and I need to be with my family,” Neris said, making it clear that the decision goes beyond purely sporting reasons.

His current situation contrasts with the expectations raised by his departure from Colón. The striker bet on a new path, but even in Ecuador he did not find the continuity and performances that were expected, so he will start over in Uruguayan football in search of regaining prominence.

Colón’s lawsuit

Meanwhile, in Santa Fe they are closely following every move. Colón is awaiting the resolution of the dispute it is maintaining with the player over the unilateral termination of his contract. The club is seeking compensation of around 1.2 million dollars and hopes FIFA rules in its favor.
