Two historic players from La Roja are approached as reinforcements for Colo Colo

With the close of the first semester, Colo Colo is already starting to think about reinforcements. Once the first round of the 2024 National Championship is over, the Albos will have the possibility of adding three additions to their ranks and, if they transfer one of their own for more than 250 thousand dollars, they can opt for a fourth man to join them. their ranks.

There are three main positions that Jorge Almirón has in mind to reinforce: the right back, an offensive midfielder and a center forward. This, of course, can change depending on the circumstances, such as, for example, a start in another area of ​​the field. For example, Alan Saldivia is being tempted from the MLS and, an eventual sale, would mean having to go for a replacement.

In that sense, Daniel Morón’s technical management is already handling some options. Although he did not give names, El Loro announced that he has several players in his portfolio seen to start conversations. Besides, There are some that were approached to the Blanco y Negro offices and, two of them, would be a real blow to the market.

As DaleAlbo was able to find out, There are two folders from the golden generation of La Roja that hang around Macul: Gary Medel and Mauricio Isla. On the one hand, Pitbull has a well-known friendship with several Popular players and, in fact, he went to visit part of the squad when the Cacique went to Rio de Janeiro for the Copa Libertadores. Meanwhile, Huaso was left without a coach in Independiente and his contract ends in December 2024.

Gary Medel did not close the doors to Colo Colo

Although he is closely identified with the colors of the Crusaders, the former Inter Milan defender does not close the doors to any possibility. In fact, the 36-year-old soccer player, on that occasion that he shared with the Cacique in Rio, said that “I am a Catholic fan, but we are professionals, we don’t know what happens in the future, so nothing. My present today is Vasco da Gama and I only think about that.”

The thing is that the native of Conchalí received the praise of Aníbal Mosa who even dared to joke about a possible signing of Pitbull in Popular. Thus, we will have to wait and see what happens in the coming months, especially because of the difficult moment he is going through in Vasco da Gama, after going from being captain to not being considered by the new coach.

The thing is that, after the departure of Ramón Díaz and a trip to Chile due to his mother’s illness, he had to sit on the substitute bench. Regarding that, a few days ago, the interim coach said that “Gary is a leader, he is an athlete who leads the group in conversations in the locker room and, If at some point we have to incorporate him, I’m sure he will be willing to help Vasco. And he really wants it. He is a very competitive player, he likes the game, but he helps in his own way.”

Anyway, The former Sevilla player will also wait for a possible offer from Universidad CatólicaTherefore, we will have to wait under what conditions this eventual proposal would arrive to see what happens with the Pitbull’s future.

Mauricio Isla is left without a coach in Independiente

After a complicated time at Universidad Católica, Mauricio Isla left for Independiente de Avellaneda, which was experiencing a terrible financial situation. There, Huaso established himself as the undisputed right back and was filled with praise from the media and the fans.

The arrival of Carlos Tevez only confirmed his position as undisputed. However, Apache came off the bench and, now, the Buin native’s future is adrift. Although he has a contract until December 2024, everything is very uncertain in Rojo and, for this reason, it would not be a bad idea to return to Chile.

In fact, once he left the foothills, Isla was already interested in going to Colo Colo. However, the clause he had with the UC did not allow him to jump to the Cacique, even though He had some conversations with the coach at that time, Gustavo Quinteros, who wanted him as his full-back in Macul.

Since his arrival at the Argentine team in August 2023, the 35-year-old full-back has played 31 games in all competitions. With 2,583 minutes on the court, he has a record of two goals and two assists, all in the Trans-Andean League Cup.
