“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Match12 Sep 2026
Nueva Chicago made Colón work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The manager makes an example of Mauro Peinipil
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
Everybody has an opinion about Matías Budiño
He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.
Squad14 Sep 2026
The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Nicolás Nagel knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Colón, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The medical room confirms 32 days on the sidelines for Matías Godoy, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Wages eat 588% of everything Colón earn
There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.
Match5 Sep 2026
Godoy Cruz made Colón work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Colón have made Lautaro Gaitán available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Colón answer back
A squad written off a fortnight ago has closed ranks. Whatever was said behind that door, it has held so far.

Match26 Aug 2026
Colón out of the cup
Banfield ended it 0-0. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.
Market31 Aug 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 Colón can pretend not to have heard.
Squad31 Aug 2026
Matías Budiño decides it from twelve yards
1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.
Match29 Aug 2026
No end in sight to Colón's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Colón has to find a result from somewhere.

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
Loan watch31 Aug 2026
“I did not go to Banik Ostrava to sit and watch. I want to come back to Colón and fight for my place.” 1 appearances in 1 matches say the rest.

Pier Barrios asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
Match29 Aug 2026
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Chacarita Juniors will be the happier side with the point.
Squad31 Aug 2026
Every debut is a small story about the future: Elías Santini, 19 years old, off the academy pitches and into the first team. The parents in the stand will keep the programme.

Cup progress for Colón
A 0-0 win over San Martín SJ, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?
Market24 Aug 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Squad24 Aug 2026
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Gimnasia y Esgrima left with the points after a 0-1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Colón have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Almería pay $360.0K, 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.

Three points for Colón, 1-0 the final word against San Martín SJ in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The clock runs on Lucas Cano's contract
36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.
