Murci was surveyed by the Cacique at the close of the transfer market as an alternative to replace Óscar Opazo. However, the regulations of the National Championship prevent him from signing with another club for at least the first semester.
Colo Colo exhausted instances to try to get a right back to cover the place left by Oscar Opazo, who ended up signing at Racing Club de Argentina. After the fall of the signing of Matías Catalán, the albos analyzed different possibilities in national clubs, where one of the few who convinced Gustavo Quinteros was an old acquaintance: Philip Campos.
There were contacts to repatriate Murci, but finally his signing did not happen. The reason passed exclusively due to regulatory issues, since the player had been part of a summons from Everton and that disqualified him from leaving for any club that disputes the National Championship, at least during the first round.
“There was a call”
Felipe Campos himself revealed the call from the Cacique and hinted that he would have loved to have a second cycle at the Monumental stadium.
“There was a call from Colo Colo before the pass book closed. The two parties discussed but it did not end in anything because of these things that football has. It was a love to the heart that they gave me, I was even more motivated”, confessed the winger in conversation with DirecTV.
In this way, the player could not return, who defended the club between 2016 and 2021, winning five titles. His stay was highly valued, for which he was discharged with honors after fulfilling his contract and leaving for Atlético Tucumán in Argentina.
His return to Macul
However, Campos had the opportunity to play again at the Monumental, although this time with the Everton shirt in the 1-1 draw on Sunday. In this context, he stopped to analyze the red card for Maximiliano Falcón and analyzed the role of referee Felipe González.
“I think that the expulsion of Maximiliano Falcón was correct, there was nothing strange. For us there were also plays in which we could say that we felt disadvantaged. In the end it was the right decision,” he completed.
