Key day for Colón: board issues ultimatum to seal Bonansea transfer | OneFootball

The anticipation for the assembly of the 2026 squad of Colón is at its peak, and all eyes are on the attacking front. The club from the Centenario neighborhood has decided to make a strong bet on Alan Bonansea, and this Monday is shaping up to be the key day to finalize his arrival.

After weeks of confidential negotiations, the Sabalero board of directors has put forward a superior economic and sporting proposal. Despite the forward receiving interest from abroad and from the top tier of Argentine football, optimism reigns in Santa Fe. Colón's institutional weight and the promotion project are the cards the club hopes to play to win the battle.

The "9" requested by Ezequiel Medrán

The choice of Bonansea was not random, but an express request from coach Ezequiel Medrán. For the coach, the forward represents the profile of a high-caliber area "9" that the category demands: proven experience in the lower leagues, physical presence, aerial play, and a consistent goal-scoring record in recent seasons.

"We need an area reference who knows the division and can make a difference in such a long tournament," would have been Medrán's premise when requesting his signing.

Optimism to finalize the arrival

Despite being one of the most sought-after players in the market, Colón has managed to stay ahead in the race for his signing. The Santa Fe club competes with enticing offers but bets on the sporting ambition of being a central figure in the championship to finally convince the player in the coming hours.

If the definitive "yes" is received this Monday, Bonansea is expected to travel to the city to seal his contract and immediately join the preseason work, backed by his good numbers from his last season at Patronato.
