The Colón de Santa Fe team will begin the preseason this Tuesday with a view to its participation in the First National, with Iván Delfino as technical director and the objective of returning to the First Division, for which it will try to keep some of the most sought-following players, like Ramón “Wanchope” Ábila.
The “Sabaleros” players are scheduled to meet at 6 p.m. at the 4 de Junio property, located next to the Brigadier López highway that connects the capital of Santa Fe with Rosario, to undergo medical and physical checkups prior to the start of work.
Delfino, confirmed as the new coach by the leadership led by Víctor “Bicho” Godano, intends to keep some players from the squad that lost the category, although the question concerns the viability of paying contracts that were signed for 18 months in June. passed to First Division values.
Although Godano admitted that “it is not feasible today to support the entire squad, we will seek to terminate some players with the highest salaries,” and clarified that “Wanchope is not among those players.”
Delfino spoke along the same lines, saying that Ábila “is one of the most effective players in Argentine football in the area, not having him would be a very important loss.”
The truth is that, beyond the start of work, attention will be focused on the way in which the particular situations of the most sought-following footballers will be resolved, such as Rubén Botta, Damián Batallini, Favio Álvarez, Ángel Cardozo Lucena and Baldomero Perlaza , all with current contracts.
On the other hand, of the players who ended their relationship with the last day of 2023, the only one who has so far agreed to continue is Paolo Goltz, while Matías Ibáñez, Laureano Troncoso, Joaquín Enrico and Gonzalo Silva have already said goodbye.
In the case of Stéfano Moreyra and Gian Nardelli, both emerged at the red club, the idea is to continue, while Tomás Galván, Carlos Arrúa, Jorge “Rabbit” Benítez, Joaquin Ibanez, Rafael Delgado, Ignacio Chicco and Tomás Moschión would not follow . . . .
In addition, there are players who have offers, such as Eric Meza ( Estudiantes de la Plata ), Facundo Garcés ( Alavés from Spain ) and Perlaza himself ( Alianza Lima from Peru ).
In terms of additions, the only confirmed one is that of Sebastián Prediger, who came to be one of the team’s leaders following a career that began with Colón in the 2006-07 season and led him to also play for Millonarios de Colombia, Porto de Portugal, Cruzeiro from Brazil, Boca Juniors, Baniyas SC from the United Arab Emirates, Estudiantes de La Plata, Belgrano, Newell’s Old Boys, San Martín de Tucumán and Tigre.
