Colón miss out, Tomás Fernández stays in the top flight | OneFootball

While Colón was advancing in forming their squad and had negotiations underway, Tomás Fernández ended up taking a different path. The forward, who was very close to becoming a reinforcement for the rojinegro, was announced as a new player for Aldosivi, a decision that frustrated an operation that seemed well-positioned for the Sabalero.

A negotiation that didn't reach its destination

In Santa Fe, Fernández was seen as an interesting alternative to strengthen the attack, especially due to his ability to play on the wings and his recent experience in the First Division. Talks were advanced and the interest was concrete, but the player's desire to remain in the elite ended up being decisive.

Aldosivi, which managed to avoid relegation on the last matchday, moved quickly and ended up enticing the player with the chance to continue competing in the Professional League, something that definitively tipped the balance.

Profile and career of the forward

Born in Junín and emerging from Boca's youth system, Fernández never officially debuted for the xeneize club. His career was built through multiple loans, which took him to Argentino Agropecuario, Cerro Largo, Maldonado, Tigre, and finally San Martín de San Juan.

In the last year, the winger accumulated 22 matches and four goals, in addition to important performances in decisive matches. Paradoxically, he scored a goal and provided an assist against Aldosivi in the 4-2 victory that ended up being key for the Shark's survival.

Colón and a demanding market

The absence of Fernández highlights the market difficulties for Colón, which competes with First Division clubs and must adjust expectations in each negotiation. The Sabalero management continues to work to find alternatives that fit the sports project, knowing that every name that appears is also being followed by other teams.

Thus, while Aldosivi adds an offensive piece with recent experience in the elite, Colón looks at the entire board again, forced to reorder priorities and accelerate in the search for reinforcements that allow them to be a protagonist in the Primera Nacional.
