The announcement that Juan Martín Lucero will not continue in Colo Colo surprised and annoyed most of the Cacique fans, however, one who knows the history of the Albos, like Pillo Vera, defended his decision and lent him clothes.
Colo Colo’s 2023 started in the busiest way possible. With everyone preparing to start the preseason in Argentina, Juan Martín Lucero packed his bags and announced that he would not continue at Cacique, given a possible offer from Fortaleza.
The fact generated a transversal discomfort in the albos fans, who see how the team’s star striker breaks his contract that binds him to the institution until 2025. In addition, Gustavo Quinteros himself suffers with his departure, and is already looking for a replacement who is up to his standards.

The only certain thing is that the Argentine gunner will not appear in the preseason of the Eternal Champion that will take place in Buenos Aires.
