Luciano Pons might make a comeback to the FPC, potentially joining a team competing in the Copa libertadores 2025. The Argentine striker, who previously shone as a key player for Independiente Medellín, is set to conclude his contract with University of Chile. Reports suggest he could be heading back to Colombia, this time to represent one of the country’s top clubs.
Pons made a notable impact during his stint in Medellín, netting 34 goals, a performance that prompted the ‘U’ to secure him as a major signing for 2024. Unfortunately, his time in Chile didn’t live up to expectations, with just 4 goals in 27 appearances leading to his departure.
Now, the Chilean club has informed the former Banfield player that he is free to explore other opportunities. This has sparked speculation about his next move, with rumors swirling that he might return to Colombia—though not to rejoin DIM.
