Colón: Contract status of each player looking ahead to 2026

The end of the 2025 season forces Colón to make key decisions regarding its squad. Several footballers are reaching the end of their contracts and will need to be individually evaluated, considering both on-field performance and the club's policy and the preferences of the new coaching staff.

The analysis is based on the information that is becoming known, although everything will be conditioned by the elections that will take place on November 30, as it will be the new leadership that makes the decisions, based on their strategic plan from a football perspective.

Cases with no possibility of continuity

Some players will not have a chance to stay at the club, regardless of who takes over:

Marcos Díaz, Gonzalo Bettini, Nicolás Fernández, Oscar Garrido, Emmanuel Gigliotti: will end their cycle at Sabalero.
Facundo Sánchez, Joel Soñora and José Barreto: their contracts are about to be terminated through early negotiations.
Federico Jourdan: although his contract ends, his sports performance does not support his continuity.

Players with the possibility of staying

Other footballers could remain in Colón, as long as the new leadership and the DT approve their continuity:

Guillermo Ortiz and Kevin Colli: well regarded by the outgoing coach, they are the strongest cases to continue.
Christian Bernardi: his future will depend on the club and his family situation; however, it would be his third season on loan, which complicates his continuity.
Brian Negro: a possible attempt at continuity if Medrán remains in charge.

Special cases: homegrown and with strategic evaluation

Some players who emerged from the institution will have their situation defined by the new direction:

Lautaro Laborie, Alex Aranda and Conrado Ibarra: actively participated during the season, including call-ups and minutes as starters. Their continuity will depend on the evaluation of the new coaching staff and management.

Players with current contract and possible departure

In addition, there are footballers who still have a contract, but could terminate it if necessary:

Tomás Giménez, Nicolás Thaller, Gonzalo Soto, Cristian García, Facundo Castro and Luis Miguel Rodríguez.
Facundo Castet, Nicolás Talpone and Ignacio Lago: additions with investment in registration; their future will be decided by the new leadership and the coach.

Colón faces a process of squad restructuring that combines sports and economic decisions. The evaluation one by one of the contracts that are ending will allow to define who will stay, who will leave and how the group of players emerged from the institution will be managed, in a context where planning for the next season begins to take shape.
