Oviedo returns for Santiago Colombatto. The Argentine midfielder has become one of the soap operas of the summer, in a story of comings and goings in which the final chapter still remains. The club is awaiting the decision of the midfielder, still without a destination while he trains with Club León, and harbors hope that he can wear the blue shirt, despite the fact that he has more clubs interested in signing him.
The future of the Argentine has gone through several stages. Jesús Martínez has been the main promoter of the operation. Colombatto belongs to León, a group of the Pachuca conglomerate, which facilitates the operation. The pivot came from a great year at Famalicao in Portugal and had hopes of signing with a top-flight team.
After some offer that did not convince Colombatto, it was decided that he should start the preseason with León. Famalicao did not execute its purchase option and one of the risks was ruled out.
But despite the lack of offers that fulfilled his wishes, the footballer did not approve the Carbayona option in July either, and Oviedo forgot about him. “The Colombatto thing could not be done,” said Jesús Martínez upon the team’s arrival in Mexico. The shots, at that time, went the other way. The “Operation Seoane” was beginning to take shape.
The arrival of the Getafe midfielder was closed, but it was a different profile from what Colombatto could offer. Nor is it that either of them fits exactly with what Cervera has been asking for a long time, a medium that can act as a center. However, Colombatto returns to gain strength in the offices.
The second attempt by the media has been activated in the last few hours and, according to sources familiar with the situation, it has more strength than in the first attempt. Colombatto has changed his perspective and does not look badly at playing for Oviedo. The danger is competition. Because he has more proposals on the table. One of them, that of Dinamo Zagreb, has lost steam after the elimination of the Croats in the Champions League preview. But it is not the only team that will play European competition behind the Argentine.
Oviedo waits in the background for the footballer’s decision, who already knows all the terms of the Carbayona proposal. The club remains cautious, but the work in the market can convince Colombatto that the project is serious. The signing of Santi Cazorla could be a decisive factor in the Argentine’s final decision.
