Exclusive preview from LA DOCE on Radio Gol, central defender Matías Muñoz is close to finalizing his move to Colón to strengthen the team for the 2026 season. The player, who currently plays for Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza, would join to bring experience and solidity to the central defense of the Santa Fe team.

Player Information

Full name: Matías Damián Muñoz Age: Born on March 22, 1996 (29 years old). Height: 1.83 meters. Position: Central defender, although he has also played as a defensive midfielder. Place of birth: Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz, Argentina. Characteristics: Known for his strength and good aerial play, attributes considered key for the defensive scheme.

Career

Muñoz has developed most of his career in various categories of Argentine football, gaining experience in the First Division, Primera Nacional, and lower categories. His career includes stints at several clubs, among which the following stand out:

Ferro Carril Oeste: The club where he signed his first professional contract. Douglas Haig: He had a stint at the club in Pergamino. Colegiales and Tristán Suárez: Teams where he also played before moving to Primera Nacional. Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza: His current team, where he has established himself and had an outstanding performance, even being part of the championship team that achieved promotion to the top category in the current season. Unión La Calera (Chile): He also has experience in Chilean football, playing abroad for a brief period.

Muñoz's imminent arrival at Colón is seen as a strategic move by the club to strengthen its defense with a player who knows Argentine football well and has shown consistency in the category.

Another name on the radar is Patricio Ostachuk

The option of Ostachuk arises, coming off a year with a lot of continuity at Tristán Suárez, where he played 34 matches and scored a goal. With rhythm, experience, and projection, the defender becomes an alternative for a Colón that needs to completely renew its defensive structure. Brian Negro has already left, and there are plans for the departures of Guillermo Ortiz and Gonzalo Soto. Nicolás Thaller would stay.
