Cristián Zavala would have everything in place to leave Colo Colo on loan and play in Argentine football.

The 25-year-old winger is now linked to Newell's Old Boys. The team from Rosario would have already initiated the procedures to carry out the transfer, which would include a purchase option after the end of the loan period.

The information was spread through Twitter, through the Argentine journalist Uriel Lugt.

No details of the operation were disclosed, nor were there any confirmations or official voices regarding the matter.

If the loan is finalized, Zavala would have his first experience outside of Chilean football.

The attacker has suffered ups and downs during his stay at Colo Colo. Emerging from Coquimbo Unido, he had stints at Fernández Vial and Melipilla, before landing at the Cacique, where he struggled to make a place for himself.

In 2023, he played the entire season on loan at Curicó Unido and gained momentum, and then had his best season at Colo Colo in 2024. However, more recently and under the command of Jorge Almirón, Zavala lost ground again and was relegated, so a new loan is a plausible option.
