In the albos they await the recovery of Emiliano Amor for the second round, which will undoubtedly be great news for Gustavo Quinteros. However, to register the defender, one of the foreigners from the squad will have to be removed.
There are only four dates left for the first wheel of the 2023 National Championship to end, so it will soon be time for evaluations in Colo Colo. Although the team remains on the lookout in the standings, the exhibited performance does not fully conform to Gustavo Quinterosso it is a fact that he will request reinforcements to make a leap in quality.
But facing the next semester, the strategist hopes to have Emiliano Amor again, who underwent surgery for a rebellious ankle ailment and hopes to be ready for the second half of the tournament. Although this return will be great news, he will force a decision regarding the foreigners on the campus.
Who will give up their place?
Currently, the albos do not have a quota for foreign footballers. In fact, at the beginning of the year they decided not to register the former Vélez Sarsfield due to his serious injury and thus facilitate the arrival of Matías de los Santos as his replacement. In this way, he joined Maximiliano Falcón, Agustín Bouzat Darío Lezcano and Fabián Castillo as the foreigners of the team.
For this reason, to accommodate Emiliano Amor, in Colo Colo they must define which of these footballers they are not going to register facing the second wheel. The issue is that the majority are newcomers with a valid contract and all requested by the DT.
One of the alternatives that was being considered in Black and White was to terminate Bouzat’s contract early, who ends his assignment in December. However, his outlook changed thanks to his new position as a left winger and he seems to have taken over the lane due to Erick Wiemberg’s constant physical problems.
Considering that Maximiliano Falcón is undisputed, Gustavo Quinteros is forced to decide between one of his reinforcements. This will mean negotiating an agreement to terminate the contract, something that has not been easy in Colo Colo, which still has fresh memories of the complicated conversations to release Nicolás Blandi.
The other alternative is to have one of those players only for the international arena, but it means a high cost that Black and White would not be willing to assume.
However, considering the scant contribution of recently arrived foreigners, We must not rule out the possibility that the leadership wants to negotiate more than one way out and thus release another quota that serves to seek reinforcements.
