The Chilean football transfer market is on fire and in Colo Colo show signs of concern. Although, after frustrated negotiations, they are one step away from closing the center forward that Jorge Almirón requested, they still have to comply with the arrival of a right back and the permanence of the entire squad for the second semester. Precisely at this point is where they have the most problems because a figure is being probed from the outside.
One of the players whose days at Cacique seem to be numbered is Alan Saldivia. The Uruguayan has been closely followed by several clubs abroad for several transfer markets and only recently, an offer to sign the defender arrived. The team that wants to sign the defender is Orlando City of the MLS, but the proposal they sent was rejected, since it did not meet the expectations of Colo Coloalthough they do not rule out making an improvement.
The truth is that the American team issued an offer that was far from the 2.2 million dollars stipulated in the termination clause for 70% of his transfer and it was automatically denied. Given this, the white team has not lost hope that the team will return to the charge to keep the Uruguayan defender, as they have been sounding him out for some time, due to his great performances.
However, it is not the only club that is following in the footsteps of Alan Saldivia. Serie A also showed their interest in signing him, but the name of the institution that is following him closely has not yet been revealed, since they prefer to keep him stored in a safe until they make a formal proposal. For now, in terms of sports, Italy is vastly superior to the United States, but in Colo Colo They still have not defined what the future of the defender will be.
Colo Colo’s alternatives to replace Saldivia
In case the offers advance and the player’s departure is finalized, Colo Colo They will have to move their pieces quickly taking into account the great importance that Alan Saldivia has within Jorge Almirón’s squad. Given this, the Blanco y Negro offices already have the names of Matías Catalán and Mauricio Isla in mind to strengthen the squad for the second semester.
Huaso has been within Popular’s orbit for some time and since it announced that it will not continue in Independiente, the chances have increased and excite all managers. While Catalán, he is in a great position with both La Roja and Talleres de Córdoba, so they would make a great effort to hire him.
