Linked with Santa Fe, signed for Madryn for 18 months, could debut v Colón | OneFootball

The Primera Nacional transfer market remains red-hot and keeps bringing major moves. In the last few hours, it was confirmed that experienced left-back Lucas Diarte has officially become a new Deportivo Madryn player.

The defender managed to finalize his departure from San Martín de Tucumán and, after passing his medical, signed an 18-month contract that will keep him with the Aurinegro until December 2027.

The full-back who was on Colón’s radar

Diarte’s arrival in the south of the country has caused a strong impact in Santa Fe, since the player was part of the list of options Colón’s management was considering to strengthen the left flank. Given the Sabalero’s need to add alternatives in that area, the Tucumán native’s name had been strongly linked with the Elephant Graveyard in recent weeks.

However, the negotiations did not progress, and Deportivo Madryn moved more quickly to secure one of the division’s most sought-after pieces.

Experience for the Aurinegro and a showdown in sight

At 33, Diarte brings key experience for the promotion tournament, having played for Estudiantes de La Plata, Central Córdoba de Santiago del Estero, Belgrano de Córdoba, and Melgar of Peru. Curiously, Diarte’s debut in his new shirt could come against the very club that wanted him: Deportivo Madryn will host Colón next weekend in a direct clash where the Aurinegro’s brand-new signing will already be available to the coaching staff.
