The purslane team is not even assured of qualification for the Copa Libertadores; Deportes Tolima needs to be champion against Junior.
That generated movements in the offices of the purslane team, whose priority is the renewal of Alfredo Morelos for 2026.
Regarding departures, the only one confirmed is that of Joan Castro. The defender will return to Internacional de Bogotá and already has offers on the table to continue his career in other Colombian soccer teams.
Cándido would return to Uruguay
Within the purslane team there is a division of opinion about executing the purchase option, since he is an expensive player for the BetPlay League.
In addition to that, from Uruguay they assure that there are advanced negotiations for him to return to the National Club.
“Camilo Cándido’s return to Nacional is approaching. They advanced in the negotiation,” reported journalist Martín Charquero on his social networks.
Facundo Batista in Peñarol plans
Batista has been a regular substitute for Morelos and at the end of the championship he also had Dairon Asprilla over him, which speaks of the secondary role he has within the squad.
Nacional wants to recover some of the investment made to bring it from Europe; However, he knows that it will not be easy to convince a foreign team to put large sums of money on the table.
Federico Buysan, a Uruguayan journalist, reported a few days ago that Peñarol has Batista on its wish list and has started conversations with the player’s inner circle.
Batista would also have the possibility of moving to Paraguayan football, although there is no certainty about the team interested in his services.
The decision on these departures will be made after the final of the BetPlay Cup, which will begin this Saturday, December 13, and will end on Wednesday of next week.
