Quilmes eyeing 2026, targeting Barreto as he prepares to leave Colón | OneFootball

Quilmes is going through a complex moment, with a restriction that prevents them from signing new players, but they are still undertaking a team overhaul and are already planning for the next year. With Alfredo Grelak confirmed as the coach, the management is considering names to renew the team, and one of the targeted players is José Barreto, who is about to terminate his contract with Colón.

The player's departure is in a notary's office, although the process is taking longer than expected, creating some uncertainty. The main issue is that, with two more months left on the contract, few players are willing to forgo money in this context.

Barreto was coached by Grelak at San Telmo, where he had an outstanding season, which explains the coach's interest in bringing him on board again. However, his arrival at Quilmes depends on the attacker completing his departure from Sabalero—where he failed to establish himself—and on the Cervecero lifting the restriction to sign new players.

A scenario that reflects the situation of two teams that were eliminated from competition earlier than expected and are already thinking about how to rebuild for the next year.
