Bombshell: Ignacio Malcorra, former Unión man, offered to Colón | OneFootball

Veteran midfielder Ignacio Malcorra was offered in recent hours as a possible reinforcement for Colón for the second half of the year, sparking intense debate ahead of the Primera Nacional transfer window, which will begin this June 20.

The offer and the key transfer window dates

With the goal of strengthening the squad to fight for promotion, the Sabalero board received the proposal to sign the 38-year-old left-footed midfielder. The offer comes on the eve of the division’s next transfer window, which will have an extremely short timeframe: it will officially open on Thursday, June 20, and run only until Tuesday, July 2. During those twelve days, clubs will have to speed up negotiations to register their new signings.

Current situation and “Nacho’s” career path

Ignacio Malcorra is currently with Independiente de Avellaneda, the club he joined in January after completing a successful and historic spell at Rosario Central. With the Canalla, he won the 2023 Copa de la Liga and the 2025 Liga Profesional, becoming a hugely beloved and decisive player in Rosario derbies.

Previously, the talented free-kick specialist built a standout career with spells in Mexican football (Tijuana, Pumas UNAM, Atlas) and at Lanús. However, his first half-season with the “Rojo” was marked by inconsistency and performances below fans’ expectations, opening the door to a possible departure.

Controversy in Santa Fe: the barrier of his past at Unión

The footballer wore Unión’s shirt between 2014 and 2016. At the Tatengue, he was not only a key figure in securing promotion to the top division in 2014 under Leonardo Madelón, but also became a highly popular player among the fans thanks to his remarkable left foot and memorable goals.
