Alonso confirms possible exits for Nicolás Talpone and ‘Pulga’ Rodríguez

The president of Colón, José Alonso, explained in a conversation with Darío Pignata on ADN by Radio Gol 96.7 that the sports project focuses on institutional stability and growth. One of the first and most urgent objectives of his administration was “to assemble a team immediately, quickly” because the previous team had almost completely left and they only had one month of preseason.

He confirmed that the FIFA ban due to the Espínola case was lifted, a great “headache” less for the management.

The Squad, Reserves, and Reinforcements

Alonso and his team had to assemble a new squad in a short time, facing “insane contracts and catastrophic numbers” inherited. The president explained that the club needed a team of eleven starters, so it was not just about integrating players, but true reinforcements. “Colón today needs a team of eleven starters.”

The management has been effective in the transfer market, adding up to 14 reinforcements in total. Regarding youth football and the reserves, Alonso confirmed an important achievement: “the reserves will play in the professional league and the youth teams will play in AFA, yes, it is certainly an achievement.” He mentioned that the idea is for the youth players to integrate into the competitive squad and compete for a spot.
