Germán Andrés Conti
Germán Andrés Conti is the name of a 24-year-old 'kid' born in Barrio Escalante, Santa Fe, who is currently an undisputed starter in the team coached by Eduardo Domínguez, Colón's manager, where he probably played his last match at the Cementerio de los Elefantes in a 0-0 draw against River.
The player, who emerged from Colón's youth academy, is finally close to making his move to Europe and becoming a player for Benfica, where it is rumored that the Portuguese team has shown a lot of interest in the Argentine. There has been talk of a possible payment of the release clause, in addition to the €3,500,000 that Colón is entitled to. This leads to the conclusion that negotiations are already underway.
In response to this, Benfica has taken the first step by sending a formal proposal to Colón to buy 80% of the defender's transfer for €3.5 million, with an additional €1 million if the player reaches a certain number of games, accounting for 20% of the total fee. Therefore, it can be assumed that the Argentine will be closing his move in the Argentine Superliga to move to La Primeira Liga next season.
It is worth mentioning that 'Flaco' Conti played his last home match against River this past Monday. If the defender moves abroad, on the final matchday of the Superliga, Colón will visit Racing at the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
