Colo Colo wants to close his squad by 2023 and the center forward is one of the great unknowns. Although there are conversations with Miguel Merentiel, during the last hours another option appeared.
Colo Colo accelerates negotiations to close the transfer market for the 2023 season. El Cacique, who suffered the untimely loss of Juan Martín Lucero, is urgently looking for a center forward of the level of Gato and who will be the starter for the football year that begins.
There are two options that have sounded louder around the Monumental Stadium. Javier Correa and Miguel Merentiel are the forwards who appeared closest to Macul, and there are very advanced conversations with the current Palmeiras player. However, despite the fact that there are negotiations with the Beast and that in Brazil they consider the agreement ready, nothing has been closed yet.
A third option appears in the list
Why hasn’t the Miguel Merentiel thing been closed? The answer is simple – a third option appeared. As Dale Albo may have learned, Darío Lezcano is the new footballer who appears on the horizon of Colo Colo and that it can become the next reinforcement of the Eternal Champion.
Of Paraguayan nationality and 32 years old, Lezcano is a current player for FC Juárez in Mexico. He has played for FC Wil (2008-2011), FC Thun (2011-2012) and FC Luzern (2012-2015) of Switzerland and for FC Ingolstadt 04 of Germany from 2016 to 2019. After passing through German soccer ended up in his current squad, with which he has already played matches during the year 2023. Luisón, in addition, has had participations with the Paraguayan team, debuting with the albirroja in 2015 and, from there, he played 20 games and scored 4 goals.
The center forward who has also dabbled as a pointer on the right wing, is 1.78 meters tall, is right-handed and, during the previous season, he scored 1 goal in 11 games in the 22/23 Apertura. In the Clausura that began two rounds ago, he scored a double in the only game played against Xolos de Tijuana.
In Mexico they warn of a possible departure of Dario Lezcano
There are not many minutes that the Guarani has added in the last half. For the same reason, he does not look badly on emigrating to add continuity. In this sense, from the Aztec press, they warn that Pachuca could go after the player, although they also there is talk of an interest in South America.
In this way, in Colo Colo they are working against the clock to close the 2023 squad, where upon the arrival of Fabián Castillo, they seek to close the signing of Matías Catalán and finally finalize the agreement with the new white striker.
