Colón set to seal Emanuel Beltrán signing | OneFootball

Colón continues to move decisively in the transfer market, and Emanuel Beltrán is very close to becoming the newest addition to the Sabalero squad. The club has reached a preliminary agreement with the Uruguayan defender, who would arrive on loan from Boston River for one season, with a fee and a purchase option, in a move designed to strengthen one of the team’s most sensitive areas.

A position left vacant

The search for a right back became a priority after the departures of Gonzalo Bettini and Facundo Sánchez, which left that position without a natural replacement. That’s why the management is aiming to strengthen a key area of the lineup by bringing in a player with experience, match fitness, and the ability to compete from the start.

In this context, Beltrán’s name has gained ground until becoming the most concrete option, to the point that in the coming days he will be in Santa Fe to undergo a medical examination and sign his contract.

Profile and current situation

Born on January 23, 1998 in Santa Lucía, Emanuel Beltrán is a defender with experience in both Uruguayan and Argentine football. He belongs to Boston River and most recently played on loan at Instituto de Córdoba, where he enjoyed regular playing time during the last season.

In his most recent participation, Beltrán played 10 official matches, accumulating 888 minutes on the pitch. Eight of those games were in the Torneo Clausura (708 minutes), while the other two were in the Copa Argentina, both completing the full 90 minutes. Although he did not feature in the Torneo Apertura or the playoffs, he gained competitive rhythm in the second half of the year, a fact valued by Colón.

A career with experience

Beltrán’s career began at Defensor Sporting, where he played between 2017 and 2019. He then gained experience at Rampla Juniors and Central Español, until establishing himself at Cerro Largo, a club where he had two stints and played a significant number of matches.

Later, he moved to Estudiantes de La Plata, returned to Uruguayan football to play for Boston River, and finally joined Instituto, where he competed again in Argentine football. In total, his career includes:

-Defensor Sporting

-Rampla Juniors

-Central Español

-Cerro Largo

-Estudiantes de La Plata

-Boston River

-Instituto (Córdoba)

A signing meant to compete

At Colón, they understand that the right back position cannot be left unprotected and that the team needs reliable options to face a demanding season in the Primera Nacional. Beltrán brings experience, ability to cover the flank, and knowledge of the league, qualities that make him a solid bet for the new cycle.

If there are no unforeseen issues, the Uruguayan will become a Sabalero signing in a matter of days, joining a Colón side that continues to adjust its pieces with the aim of building a competitive and balanced squad.
