Time is pressing for the Cacique to close his longed-for center forward, so in Blanco y Negro they reactivated the negotiations for the three cards for the position that have been handled in recent weeks. The deadline to register reinforcements expires before the fourth date.
Despite Colo Colo’s win over Deportes Copiapó, Gustavo Quinteros is concerned about not having the squad closed for the 2023 season, where the center forward and the right side are still missing. A central defender could even be needed if a new operation for Emiliano Amor is finally confirmed, which would leave him off the pitch for about five months.
For the coach, one of his biggest concerns is finding the number 9 to replace Juan Martín Lucero, since today it only has Leandro Benegas for that position. That is why the albos have gone for Darío Lezcano, Miguel Merentiel and Javier Correa, but the offers presented did not leave their clubs financially satisfied.
They return to the charge
The deadline to register new players expires on February 8, that is, before the fourth date of the 2023 National Championship. For this reason, time is pressing in Black and White and they had no other alternative than to reactivate the negotiations for these players.
In this sense, the concessionaire raised its aim and raised offers for Correa, Merentiel and Lezcano, hoping to be able to close some of these names soon. The last word rests with their respective teams.
The season started across the continent, so there are not many warranty alternatives available in the market and they are all with current contracts. For that reason, at the dealership they have to put their hand in their pocket to meet the needs of Gustavo Quinteros.
For now, no center forward is very close to Colo Colo and it is a fact that he will not be available for the match against O’Higgins this Sunday at the El Teniente Stadium in Rancagua.
