Colo Colo continues to look for players to strengthen itself, thinking about the second half of 2024. El Cacique needs to strengthen itself with strong names, since on the horizon we can see their duel for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores and the need to overcome several points in the fight for the title.
One of the options that is in the pipeline is that of the Argentine Lucas Di Yorio. The albos need a replacement due to the departure of Damián Pizarro and the former Everton option is quite popular at the Monumental.
The Colocolina family is somewhat divided over the option of the 27-year-old player arriving at Cacique, especially considering his characteristics in attack.
Gualberto Jara, for example, stated in a conversation with RedGol that “he scored several goals here, he already knows Chilean football and well, at the time he was the top scorer in the championship. He is a man from the area, which is what Colo Colo needs at this moment, a man from the area who scores goals.”
“Paiva is a man on the entire front of the attack, true and well, we don’t have the man there who disturbs the center backs and whoever he has in the area sends him inside. Colo Colo he needs it,” added the Paraguayan.
On the other side is Jaime Verá, who maintains that “Colo Colo needs a top center forward. All the Colo Colo center forwards who have triumphed not only played in the area, since when they left there the players also assisted and were complete.”
“If they hire him, let him do well, but I would aim for a more complete player. The taste is mine, it is quite personal, that is my opinion,” he concluded.
