Facundo Castet in Nueva Chicago's sights: is he leaving Colón? | OneFootball

The Primera Nacional transfer market is starting to heat up, and El Sabalero could suffer a significant loss in its defensive structure. Facundo Castet, Colón’s left back, is on Nueva Chicago’s radar, a team looking to strengthen its squad for the second half of the tournament.

The Mataderos club’s leadership has already begun formal talks with the player’s representatives to learn about his contract terms and assess the feasibility of bringing him in.

The reasons behind the interest and Colón’s position

Nueva Chicago’s head coach has identified Castet as a priority because of his defensive solidity and consistency. Given this situation, Colón’s board, led by Víctor Godano, is not ruling out sitting down to negotiate, as long as the financial offer is beneficial for the Santa Fe club.

At present, the left back is under contract with Colón. However, within the club from the Centenario neighborhood, it is being considered that, if his departure is finalized, the coaching staff led by the Sabalero manager will be forced to go into the market in search of a high-level replacement for the position, or else rely on the options already available in the current squad.

Castet’s performance at El Sabalero

Since arriving in Santa Fe, Facundo Castet quickly established himself in the starting eleven, becoming one of the team’s most consistent performers in the division, but lately he has lost a lot of ground, to the point that in several matches he did not even make the substitutes’ bench, so his departure would not be a problem as long as El Torito takes him for a fee, allowing El Sabalero to recover some of what it once invested to buy his rights from Sarmiento de Junín.

The next few hours will be key in determining whether Nueva Chicago moves forward with a formal and concrete offer, or whether the player ultimately chooses to stay in Santa Fe and see out his contract.
