Bad news: Lago rejects Universidad de Chile's offer

The transfer market has dealt Universidad de Chile a heavy blow. Despite strong interest in strengthening their attack for the second half of the season, the university side received a negative response from one of their biggest targets: Argentine winger Ignacio Lago.

Loyalty to Colón de Santa Fe​

The news was confirmed by the player’s representative, Pablo Caro, in an interview with Sol Play. The agent revealed that the 23-year-old forward chose to turn down major offers from abroad in order to prioritize staying in his country’s football scene. “Nacho Lago said no to Peñarol and Universidad de Chile so he could stay at Colón,” the agent stated, adding that the player recently extended his contract until December 2027.

Numbers that appealed to the Blues​

The board’s desire to sign Lago was driven by his excellent current form. This season with the Santa Fe club, the striker has posted outstanding numbers, with six goals and three assists in just 13 matches. With this emphatic “no,” Universidad de Chile is now forced to look for other options in the continental market.
