Colo Colo
The goalkeeper is once again on the Cacique’s radar and can leave Betis to return to our country. Given this, Chilean goalkeepers give him the go-ahead and welcome him with open arms.
Claudio Bravo may be living his last months in Europe and everything points to his return to Colo Colo. The goalkeeper has not received an offer to renew with Real Betis, which fuels rumors about a return to our country.
This Thursday in Spain they revealed that the situation of the two-time American goalkeeper in Los Béticos has come to a standstill, so he must look for a new destination. Close to turning 40, for many it is a dream to see him say goodbye to football at Cacique, where he made his first weapons and jumped to glory.
Given this, at RedGol we decided to talk to three legends of the Chilean goal to find out if it is time for Claudio Bravo to return to Colo Colo. Leopoldo Vallejos does not doubt that his return “would be sensational, but I don’t know if he wants to come to Chile or if he wants to stay there. He has to play three more years without problems, physically he is very well.”
“Maybe he doesn’t want to say goodbye, like what happens with Vidal. I don’t know if by bringing him they will be Cup champions, they are criticizing him a lot and he is coming here because there are few who want him,” he added.
Leonardo Canales joins his colleague and believes that it is time for Claudio Bravo to return to Chile. “I imagine that Claudio has defined that it will be difficult to continue in Europe, where he has achieved everything. I think that the definition goes more for Claudio. Colo Colo, knowing that he will be released, has to play it. It would be meritorious, for all he has given “.
“/>Along the same lines, Batman adds that “At every level, one dreams of finishing the race where you started. He deserves that and much more.”
Óscar Wirth is another of those who did not want to be left behind. “In Chile there is a lack of goalkeepers and for the grade he has, his curriculum, compared to the people here is different. If they made that decision it would not be nonsense, on the contrary. He is a player who, due to his level, is sure contribute in a position where there is a deficit in the country”.
Claudio Bravo and the option to cover Brayan Cortés in Colo Colo
Perhaps the big question for the return of Claudio Bravo to Colo Colo is what could happen with Brayan Cortés. El Indio has had good campaigns in recent years, but has not managed to make the leap abroad. If the two-time champion of America arrives, he will have the task to fight for the position.
Leopoldo Vallejos believes that, more than affecting, it will immediately displace the current white goalkeeper. “I think that if Bravo arrives, Cortés will be within range as second. That is detrimental for the future goalkeeper of the Chilean team until now.”
Different is the vision of Leonardo Canales, who points out that Brayan Cortés would be benefited. “It would be a reinforcement, he has already experienced it in the national team when they have been. Cortés continues to be a project. I hope it happens, because he is going to strengthen himself much more with Claudio.”
Finally there is Óscar Wirth, who was more critical of El Indio. “Cortes has been alone for I don’t know how many years and he still hasn’t taken off. To think that if he arrives he’s going to cover it up, I’d better invite him to think that he’s going to empower him.”
