Colón squad under the spotlight: players contracted until 2026

After a year marked by failure, several Colón players will have to prove themselves in the remainder of the tournament, regardless of having an active contract.

2025 is shaping up to be a difficult year for Colón. Far from their sporting objectives and with an institutional change on the horizon, the professional squad is also going through an evaluation stage.

Although there is a group of players with contracts valid until 2026, the truth is that the continuity of several of them will depend on their performance in the remaining matches and the decisions of the future management.

Case by case in the Colón squad

Among the most relevant cases are players who arrived recently or who even represented a significant investment for the club.

Tomás Giménez: the goalkeeper failed to establish himself and was marked by mistakes that cost goals in decisive matches. His low level puts him under scrutiny, despite having a long contract.
Gonzalo Soto: central defender who arrived in the last winter transfer window and secured a spot as a starter. His continuity will depend on what he shows in this final stretch of the championship.
Facundo Castet: Colón bought part of his rights after a good 2024, although the team’s current collective form has overshadowed his performance again.
Nicolás Talpone: another player acquired outright during 2024, who never quite settled in a team struggling on the field.
Óscar Garrido: after a slump, he regained his place with Ezequiel Medrán on the bench and even recently renewed his contract, although he still needs to confirm his level.
Cristian García: one of the most peculiar cases. He arrived in the last transfer window, but has yet to make his official debut due to problems with international clearance and two muscle injuries.
Facundo Castro: currently a starter, but far from the level he showed in his previous stint in Primera Nacional. He has only scored one goal, in the loss against Temperley.
Ignacio Lago: Colón invested in part of his rights at the start of the year. He has alternated moments, with a stunning recent goal against Chacarita, but also with inconsistent performances.
Luis Miguel “Pulga” Rodríguez: returned in the last transfer window as one of the major reinforcements, but has yet to reach the influence he had in his previous spell at the club.

An unclear future at Colón

Beyond the active contracts, what happens in the coming matches will be decisive. The directors who take office after the elections —unless there is intervention from the current administration— will have to make important decisions to shape the squad for 2026.

Colón is going through a transitional process in which every performance counts. And although the legal contracts are signed, in football, staying on the team is always decided on the pitch.
