The bases of the 2024 National Championship were established with a new rule regarding foreign players. The fact is that, although the clubs can only have five foreigners on the field, the truth is that The margin of those allowed on campus was expanded. There are six people born outside Chile who can be on the payroll of each institutionalthough Colo Colo only has five.
Thus, of the three reinforcements allowed, Black and White will go for a forward who is from another country. In this way, the club will have the six places allowed by regulation filled, However, he could still add a new outsider, who would be a winger on the left sector. For that, of course, the Cacique will have to make a move that allows him to carry out such an operation and, for this reason, what happens with Emiliano Amor is key.
The defender is increasingly further away from Macul. His representative is in our country and it would not be strange for him to take the option of leaving given the little continuity he has with Jorge Almirón. The leadership does not take a dim view of such an alternative since, in addition to freeing up a foreigner’s place (the third in a single position on the playing field), they can have one last economic return before their contract expires.
Thus, as DaleAlbo learned, In Colo Colo they do not rule out betting on Daniel Gutiérrez as the third center back and, thus, using the space left by Amor to reinforce the left wing of the attack with a foreigner, joining the nine that will also have another nationality. In this way, there would be six foreigners that the Cacique has, which would open up a new dilemma about who to leave out of the summons.
Which forward is Colo Colo looking for as reinforcement?
The sports management left the borders of our country to look for the network breaker of the second semester. At this moment, Lucas Di Yorio is the main card that the club has to take responsibility for the Colocolino attack and, for that, they will have to fix Athletico Paranaense’s exit form.
On the other hand, in case this operation does not materialize, Blanco y Negro handles the option of Mateo Coronel. The current Atlético Tucumán forward has a contract valid until 2027, so Cacique should aim for a loan or, directly, make a formal offer to the Argentine team to buy part of his pass, which is valued, according to figures delivered by Transfermarkt, at 3.3 million euros.
How many foreign players does Colo Colo have?
As of the date of writing this note, Colo Colo has five foreign players: the Uruguayans Maximiliano Falcón and Alan Saldivia; the argentines Emiliano Amor and Gonzalo Castellani and the paraguayan Guillermo Paiva. Thus, the coach has no problem stopping the team with all of them on the field, since he complies with the regulations without problems.
