Colón squad under the spotlight: players contracted until 2026

After a year marked by failure, several Colón players will have to take a test for the remainder of the tournament, regardless of their current contract.

2025 has been a tough year for Colón. Far from sporting objectives and with an institutional change on the horizon, the professional squad is also going through an evaluation phase.

While there is a group of players with contracts valid until 2026, the truth is that the continuity of several of them will depend on their performance in the remaining matches and the decisions of the future leadership.

The case by case in the Colón squad

Among the most relevant cases are footballers who arrived recently or who even represented a significant investment for the club.

Tomás Giménez: the goalkeeper failed to establish himself and was marked by errors that cost goals in decisive matches. His low level puts him in question, despite having a long contract.
Gonzalo Soto: central defender who arrived in the last winter market and established himself as a starter. His continuity will depend on what he shows in this championship closure.
Facundo Castet: Colón bought part of his pass after a good 2024, although the collective present again overshadowed his performance.
Nicolás Talpone: another player acquired outright during 2024, who did not manage to settle in a team that was hit hard in football terms.
Óscar Garrido: after a slump, he regained his place with Ezequiel Medrán on the bench and even recently renewed his contract, although he still needs to confirm his level.
Cristian García: one of the most peculiar cases. He arrived in the last market, but has not yet been able to make his official debut due to problems with international clearance and two muscle injuries.
Facundo Castro: he is now a starter, but far from the level he showed in his previous stint in the Primera Nacional. He only scored one goal, in the defeat against Temperley.
Ignacio Lago: Colón invested in part of his pass at the beginning of the year. He had alternating moments, with a recent great goal against Chacarita, but also with irregular performances.
Luis Miguel “Pulga” Rodríguez: he returned in the last market as one of the major reinforcements, but he has not yet reached the influence he used to have in his previous stage at the club.

An unclear future in Colón

Regardless of the current contracts, what happens in the next few dates will be decisive. The leaders who take over after the elections —if there is no intervention from the ruling party— will have to make weighty decisions to define the squad for 2026.

Colón is going through a transition process in which every performance counts. And even though the legal contracts are signed, in football, permanence is always played on the field.
