However, as the same publication details, the negotiation will not be easy at all, because Estudiantes de La Plata owns 50% of its pass and has a valid contract until June 30, 2023.

Further, El Popular would be looking for a loan with a purchase option. For this reason, the leadership of the trans-Andean club would only let him leave if they receive some money for the transfer, a situation that complicates the Cacique due to the debts he carries.

For the moment, There are no formal negotiations, but it is clear that Colo Colo will take advantage of the window granted by the ANFP in the event of injuries such as Zaldivia’s and he will go on the market to find a defender who can help him rotate the defensive zone.
