Crunch time for the deal between Colón and Nacho Lago | OneFootball

Colón is very close to finalizing important news with not only the present in mind, but also the future: Ignacio Lago is expected to sign a contract extension in the coming days through December 31, 2027.

Negotiations between the Colón board and the forward’s agent, Pablo Caro, have been moving forward for several weeks and the deal appears to be on track. Club president José Alonso had even said during the celebrations for the club’s 121st anniversary that there was an agreement in principle and that everything was in place to complete the renewal.

The stumbling block was a contract adjustment with Colón

Despite the optimism from the club’s leadership, the signing has still not been completed. According to what has emerged, both parties had already agreed on the figures and terms of the new deal going forward, but a situation related to the current contract still had to be resolved.

That was precisely the issue that held up the final agreement: Ignacio Lago wanted a financial adjustment to his current salary before signing the extension through 2027. Those around the player considered that request logical, taking into account his growing role within the first-team squad.

After an interview with LT10, Alonso even revealed that he was on his way to a meeting in the city to finish settling the final details. However, for now there has been no official announcement.

A player who has become more influential in the team

Lago has become an important piece for Colón since his arrival. During the 2024 season, he played 26 matches in Primera Nacional, scored six goals, and provided three assists, in addition to netting one goal in the Copa Argentina.

In the current season, he has already made 12 appearances, with five goals and one assist, confirming his growth and becoming one of the team’s most decisive attacking players.
