First move? Cristián Zavala set to leave Colo Colo for a spell in Argentina

Cristián Zavala would have everything in place to leave Colo Colo on loan and play in Argentine football.
The 25-year-old winger is now linked to Newell's Old Boys. The team from Rosario would have already initiated the procedures to carry out the transfer, which would include a purchase option after the end of the loan period.

The information was spread through Twitter, through the Argentine journalist Uriel Lugt.
No details of the operation were disclosed, nor were there any confirmations or official voices regarding the matter.
If the loan is finalized, Zavala would have his first experience outside of Chilean football.
The attacker has suffered ups and downs during his stay at Colo Colo. Emerging from Coquimbo Unido, he had stints at Fernández Vial and Melipilla, before landing at the Cacique, where he struggled to make a place for himself.
In 2023, he played the entire season on loan at Curicó Unido and gained momentum, and then had his best season at Colo Colo in 2024. However, more recently and under the command of Jorge Almirón, Zavala lost ground again and was relegated, so a new loan is a plausible option.

Real Madrid Arrives In Argentina To Sign Wonderkid, Reports OK Diario
A delegation from Spanish soccer giant Real Madrid is currently in Buenos Aires, Argentina with a view to landing one of the World Cup champion's most highly-rated wonderkids according to OK Diario, whose director Eduardo Inda cited anonymous sources during an appearance on popular television program El Chiringuito. After landing Endrick from across the border in Brazil last summer, Madrid has often been linked to River Plate's Franco Mastantuono, who is also wanted by recently-crowned Champions League winner Paris Saint-Germain. Already signing Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold in less than a week after the end of a trophyless 2024/2025 season in terms of major silverware, Los Blancos are also looking to secure one of South American soccer's most talked-up prodigies according to Inda. 'They tell me that emissaries from Real Madrid are in Buenos Aires to try to close the signing of Franco Mastantuono, from River Plate, this week. They will try to close it this week and take it to the Club World Cup,' Inda stated. 'PSG, [Manchester] City and Real Madrid want him. He has dual nationality, Argentine and Italian and does not occupy a non-EU position. Real Madrid's intention is to close it this week and he costs about €45 or €50 million,' Inda added. Unlike players such as Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo and Endrick, Madrid wouldn't have to wait for Mastantuono to turn 18 in order for him to join Xabi Alonso's squad because of the fact he holds an EU passport. Madrid has been linked to the left-footed attacking midfielder for several years, and first began watching him more closely at the U-17 World Cup in Indonesia in late 2023 which was attended by Madrid scouts to also get a better look at others such as Claudio Echeverri. As we know, Echeverri, known as 'El Diabilito' ('The Little Devil') has since joined City and even debuted in the Premier League for the Mancunians', who would love to reunited the former River teammates at the Etihad. Furthermore, PSG, which will not rest on its laurels after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the UCL decider and wants to make improvements to Luis Enrique's high-flying side, wants the teenager to one day challenge the likes of Fabian Ruiz, Joao Neves and Vitinha for minutes. Just like we've seen with Endrick, Mastantuono, if bought, would be a bet for the future for Real Madrid and graudally worked into the first team fold. Eventually, he'd challenge Arda Guler for minutes on the right hand side of midfield in Madrid's current system, with the Turk taking Rodrygo's spot towards the end of last season before Carlo Ancelotti departed for Brazil.

📝 Arturo Vidal scores from the spot as Colo Colo see off La Calera
📝 Arturo Vidal scores from the spot as Colo Colo see off La Calera It was a discreet game that Colo Colo played at the Estadio Municipal Nicolás Chahuán Nazar, but it was enough to add a new victory in the Liga de Primera 2025. The team of Jorge Almirón, who was not on the sidelines due to a sanction, had to resist in the first minutes, when Unión La Calera seemed more determined to have the ball and attack. The first half hour of play was intense and disputed, but without great chances in the goals. Colo Colo defeated La Calera by the minimum Without being able to practically shoot at the rival goal throughout the first half, near the end of that first half Lucas Cepeda fell in the rival area, and after verifying the foul in the VAR, the referee awarded the penalty to Cacique. Advertisement Their captain, Arturo Vidal, took care of the execution and gave the advantage to Colo Colo, which would be definitive. With this victory, Colo Colo reached 17 points in 10 games played, to climb to ninth place in the table, and remain 9 points away from the leaders, Coquimbo Unido and Audax Italiano. The Whites still have three pending games (against Iquique, corresponding to the 8th date, and the classics against U de Chile and Universidad Católica), so virtually, in case of winning them, they would be reaching the top of the table. The duel against the Cementeros also left a bad news for Colo Colo and for Jorge Almirón: the concern about the possible injury of Sebastián Vegas. Advertisement The central defender suffered a hard blow in the first half, and although he wanted to continue in the game, he could not. He was replaced by Jonathan Villagra at 20 minutes of play.

Colón reject Forneris bid: what other options do Racing have?
Colón reject Forneris bid: what other options do Racing have? These days, Racing Club is focused on the transfer market, and has already set its sights on one of its targets: Alan Forneris. The young midfielder who plays for Colón has been the main target at the Academy to strengthen the squad for the second half of the season. Advertisement Racing has already made an offer but Colón rejected it as insufficient. New offer or other options? According to information from Racing de Alma, the Academy offered one million dollars for Alan Forneris, intending to include in the negotiation the card of Germán Conti, who has no place in Gustavo Costas' team. While Conti is also wanted by Belgrano, Colón is not interested in the central defender, and rejected Racing's million-dollar offer. The Sabalero demands two million for Fornaris, and also wants to keep 20% of his card. This week it will be decided whether Racing meets Colón's demands to add Forneris, or changes its strategy and looks for other names to strengthen the midfield. Advertisement In this regard, other players that the board led by Diego Milito would have in mind have already been leaked. The first is Lautaro López, a 20-year-old midfielder who plays for Montevideo City Torque in Uruguay, and who has experience in the Argentina Under-20 team. Another option is Facundo Di Biasi, a 19-year-old central midfielder who plays for Gimnasia y Esgrima in La Plata. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
