Ezequiel Medrán: Happy with our progress on new signings | OneFootball

Well, the truth is that I’m satisfied. Things have moved at an intense pace. It's a difficult, complex market, but ultimately, at this point in time, we have practically 90% of the squad defined. There are still a few specific things left to finalize, but I’m really happy because now we have a good window for preparation. You always want a bit more, because before you know it, the tournament is upon you. But I’m truly satisfied with how we’ve been working.

Yes, we’re in the market searching, focusing on those four points. We still need to finish looking for a center back, preferably one who can play on the left side.

After that, we’re working on a full-back. There’s a name you all know as a center forward who is close to being finalized contractually, but everything is on track and moving forward.

Good, I had a chat with Fede before training started. He’s happy, he seems comfortable. Honestly, he’s very eager.

Obviously, he’s coming off significant activity. We know it will take him some time to get up to speed, but he’s motivated, has the right attitude, and of course, what drives him in his personal life is Colón. Obviously, that makes things easier. We’re hopeful that he can get in shape and give us a great contribution.

Peinipil’s arrival is on track. That’s the reality. There are just a few minor details left to sort out. Diego is handling that. We hope to have everything resolved in a good way by the end of the week.

I see Bonansea as a striker with the characteristics I like in a number nine. He’s a hard worker who found his scoring touch last season. He’s infectious, a reference point up front, someone who gives you an aerial presence in both boxes, which is important in this division.

I think he has a good attribute, a good age. The continuity from last season has put him ahead of other players. We’ve bet on him to bring him in.

The truth is we’re very pleased with how we’re working on the reinforcements. The reality is that with this recruitment strategy, we know we practically have a new team.

We have to work, work a lot in the time we have left to find that identity we like for competing. That’s what we’re focusing on. Not today, not immediately, but in the preparation, in getting physically ready. And we’re already working this week on tactical concepts.

We have a friendly confirmed for January 28th against Patronato, and after that, I prefer to have at least 10 days before the start of the championship to manage that time gap and get the team settled.
