Colón wait as José Neris returns to Uruguay for Defensor Sporting

José Neris’s present is far from what he had imagined when he decided to bring his time at Colón to an end. In the midst of the dispute he is facing before FIFA, the forward is returning to Uruguay to wear the Defensor Sporting colors.

After terminating his contract with El Sabalero and moving to Emelec, the attacker also failed to establish himself in Ecuadorian football, where he scored no goals in 14 matches. That is why El Eléctrico agreed to loan him to the purple side until December, in a deal that is still awaiting official confirmation.

With Colón watching closely, Neris returns to Uruguay

The player himself explained the reasons for his return to his country. “I have a three-year contract with Emelec and this loan until December came up.I’m coming back because of something personal that happened to me in recent months, and I need to be with my family,” Neris said, making it clear that the decision goes beyond strictly sporting matters.

His current situation contrasts with the expectations raised by his departure from Colón. The forward bet on a new path, but in Ecuador he failed to find either the continuity or the performances he had hoped for, so he will start over in Uruguayan football in search of a leading role again.

Colón’s case

Meanwhile, in Santa Fe they are closely following every move. Colón is awaiting the outcome of the dispute it has with the player over the unilateral termination of his contract. The club is seeking compensation of around $1.2 million and hopes FIFA rules in its favor.
