Botta and Herrera latest, the forwards Colón are after | OneFootball

Colón has already secured the signing of winger Franco García and is now focusing all its efforts on adding quality in two positions considered key by Ezequiel Medrán: center forward and attacking midfielder. In that context, two names top the priority list: Jonathan Herrera and Rubén Botta.

However, beyond the concrete interest and advanced talks, both deals still depend on several factors that will have to be resolved in the coming days.

The search for a goalscorer was one of the club’s first objectives in the transfer market. Initially, the board targeted Bruno Nasta, a San Miguel forward, although the player’s situation ended up cooling that option.

Nasta is dealing with an injury and must also serve a one-match suspension after being sent off in the game against Deportivo Madryn on the penultimate matchday of the first half of Zone A.

Given that situation, Colón stepped up its move for Jonathan Herrera, a Deportivo Riestra striker who is considering the possibility of a change of scenery.

The problem for the Sabalero is that the forward is not only attracting interest from Santa Fe. He also has offers from other Primera División teams and real chances to continue his career abroad, particularly in Chile or Paraguay.

Herrera’s situation forces Colón to wait. While the Primera Nacional transfer window has tighter deadlines, both the international market and the Primera División market will remain open longer, allowing the player to weigh all his options more calmly.

That is why, although Colón’s interest is firm and there is optimism regarding the negotiations, the final decision has not yet been made. The board understands it will have to compete not only financially, but also from a sporting standpoint, trying to convince the player that he can be a central piece in the project for the second half of the championship.

The other major target is in midfield. There, a particular scenario emerges: the club’s main financial effort would be aimed at just one marquee signing.

On one side is Rubén Botta, a familiar face at the club, who currently belongs to Defensa y Justicia. His possible arrival will depend on the decision Julio Vaccari makes regarding his future with the Halcón.

If he is left out of the sporting project, Colón will try to move forward, although it knows it would have to take on a contract with terms similar to those seen in Primera División.

On the other hand, Marcelo Eggel, one of Deportivo Maipú’s standout players, remains on the radar. The midfielder from Mendoza is liked by both the technical secretariat and the coaching staff, although signing him would require triggering a significant financial clause.
