El Cacique wants to start closing his squad by 2023 and, one of the main objectives, is Matías Catalán, who wants to leave Talleres.
The pass market in Colo Colo continues to have key days. After the arrival of Fabián Castillo, there are two names that remain to be closed and, thus, end the Cacique’s transfer window. A right back and a center forward are the positions that keep Gustavo Quinteros and the entire institution up at night and, in this sense, they want to speed up efforts to complete everything with the former.
Matías Catalán has been chosen. The Chilean Argentine is plan A, plan B and plan C from the Popular coach and in Black and White they know of the urgency of finding a replacement for Óscar Opazo. The problem has been in the negotiation with Talleres, a club that has a percentage of its pass in conjunction with the Pachuca Group.
