The transfer market is beginning to move strongly and in Colo Colo names are already emerging to reinforce the attack. After the departure of Salomón Rodríguez and the obvious need to add a forward, Gonzalo Fierro raised his voice and postulated no less than Leandro Fernandez.
The historic former albo player, today a panelist in We are all technicians of TNT Sports, was clear when analyzing the option of the Argentine attacker, who would not be in the plans of Francisco “Paqui” Meneghini for the 2026 season at the University of Chile. For Fierro, the context opens up an opportunity that the ‘Cacique’ should not miss.
“After what Salomón Rodríguez showed, Fernández is a very good alternative. Why not?”said the ex-lateral, making it clear that the level shown by the Uruguayan during his time at Cacique forces us to look at other cards to reinforce the area.
Along these lines, the ‘Young Gunslinger’ delved into the football and experience arguments that support his position: “I think he is a good striker, he played in a big team, he knows the pressure, he is comfortable in Chile.”
Fierro also highlighted that Fernández knows the local environment and the highly demanding matches very well: “He knows what the classics are. Colo Colo needs a forward,” He stated, emphasizing that the Cacique requires names that do not feel the weight of the jersey or the decisive matches.
The former national team’s statements come just when the information was established that Fernández would not be considered by the blue coaching staff for next year, a situation that could facilitate an eventual departure and reactivate his name in the national market.
“If you ask me, it’s a good alternative,” Fierro closed, making his verdict clear. While Colo Colo looks for a replacement for the attack and evaluates options, the name of Leandro Fernández returns to the scene, now with the public support of one of the recent references of the albo club.
