Pablo Caro reveals details of Nacho Lago's new deal to 2027

The footballer’s representative confirmed that he is traveling to Santa Fe to sign a contract extension through December 2027. He praised president Alonso’s handling of the situation, revealed the reasons why the agreement was delayed, and anticipated the inclusion of a significant release clause.

Pablo Caro’s standout quotes:

“When Nacho discovered Colón, what it meant within Argentine football, and what it stirred in him as well, he had no doubts about renewing.”
“It was never in his head to leave on a free, not at all. Quite the opposite. It never crossed our minds to leave now or sign now just to go in December in a way that isn’t right.”
“He always wanted to stay because, obviously, the affection the fans showed him is what moves him, what drives him, what lifts him up; in the difficult moment, they didn’t insult him.”
“Alonso made a very important gesture, without anyone asking him to, which was to raise Nacho’s salary a little. That was surprising. I’ve always said that Nacho plays for the shirt, and suddenly those gestures are important.”
“He’s going to have an important release clause because, obviously, at 23 he is already a player with great maturity and we know he is ready to take a step up. I feel there will be a sale, and that will also be good for Colón’s finances.”
The reasons for the delay in signing: “They came into a Colón where there were people four months behind on wages, club employees, players who weren’t going to stay. They had a lot of things to solve and weren’t focused on the player’s salary. Then, when an offer from the U came in, that’s when they started to take another look.”
Backing Medrán: “When he (Medrán) arrived, Nacho told me, ‘No, this guy is crazy, he’s killing us,’ but well, that’s the result you see now. Medrán took the chance, and today he has the team at the top, leading it well, intelligently, and he has a good connection with the players.”
