The unthinkable, invoiced: Andrés Olivera sold
Nacional arrived with $800.0K and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

A fracture rules Ramiro Quintana out for 91 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Colon will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Squad21 Dec 2026
44 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Colon lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
The terraces21 Dec 2026
Andrés Olivera has gone, the accounts have $800.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.
Market21 Dec 2026
Add another name to the list: Uruguay Montevideo have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Martín Coirolo. The answer from Colon has not changed — yet.
Squad21 Dec 2026
Words exchanged at Colon
Leandro Méndez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Market21 Dec 2026
Lito pay $77.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.
Market21 Dec 2026
Business is business: Renzo Lescano goes
Deutscher FK paid $77.0K and Colon took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
Squad21 Dec 2026
The medical room confirms 18 days on the sidelines for Thiago Aguirre, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Martín González damages knee ligaments — 72 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 72 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
Market23 Nov 2026
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Colon can pretend not to have heard.

Words exchanged at Colon
Leandro Méndez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Squad23 Nov 2026
The medical room confirms 47 days on the sidelines for Thiago Aguirre, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Words at Colon training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agustín Chopitea is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

A fracture rules Ronald Álvarez out for 117 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Colon will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.20, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Market10 Aug 2026
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Agustín Rodríguez will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colon the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Boardroom10 Aug 2026
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Words exchanged at Colon
Leandro Méndez and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.
Match8 Aug 2026
Atenas made Colon work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Market10 Aug 2026
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Pablo Bentancur is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Market10 Aug 2026
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Thiago Aguirre has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
