Colón eyes the market, plans another major coup for promotion | OneFootball

Beyond the fact that there are still important matches ahead in the Primera Nacional, Colón have already started planning their moves for the next transfer window.

The leadership headed by José Alonso is following a very similar path to the one that historically characterized the club’s previous administrations under José Vignatti’s presidency: going all in during every transfer window and targeting a player who can truly make a splash.

That model already had a clear example at the beginning of the year with the return of Federico Lértora, a signing that made an impact both on the pitch and emotionally within the Sabalero world.

The positions Colón are looking to strengthen

With the second half of the season and the promotion fight in mind, Colón have already identified several areas to strengthen. In principle, the club would go after a right-back, a left-back, a right midfielder, and a center forward.

Regarding the last two positions, there is complete agreement between head coach Ezequiel Medrán, the board, and sporting director Diego Colotto, who believe the team needs more attacking flair and greater firepower up front to face the decisive stage of the tournament.

However, some differences in opinion have emerged regarding the market’s overall priorities. While Medrán considers it important to strengthen the defensive structure, the directors believe the jump in quality must come especially from midfield forward.

The dream of a high-impact return at Colón

In that context, there is a negotiation that is beginning to gather momentum behind the scenes and is exciting the Rojinegro world. According to what has emerged, the club’s leadership is working to convince a former player to return to Santa Fe in this transfer window.

For now, secrecy prevails and there is no shortage of rumors about possible names, although what is certain is that it is a footballer whose return, if completed, would represent a huge impact for the division.

The idea is to repeat a formula that has historically worked for Colón: adding quality, experience, and a name with a strong emotional connection to the club to fuel hopes of promotion.

At the club, they believe that beyond the footballing contribution, a signing of that nature would mean a major emotional lift for a squad that has been maintaining a leading role in Zone A and dreams of returning once and for all to the Liga Profesional de Fútbol.
