This Thursday, Paraguayan Darío Fabbro delivered a double first for the Colo Colo world. The first are the approaches that exist in the Cacique through his representative Guillermo Paiva, who currently plays for Olimpia in Paraguay, but without much continuity.

And the second is that Paiva himself, at the request of Darío Lezcano’s representation, indicated that they are looking for a club for the Paraguayan striker and that this issue could be closed in the next few hours. “We have been seeing it for a while,” he said.

“Six months ago we approached them with the offer from Emelec, precisely so that they could add minutes and have continuity (…) Last year he was low in statistics and he is a top-level player. We have to take care of finding a place for him to play“he added.

However, as DaleAlbo learned, Darío Lezcano’s entourage is unaware of these negotiations and not only that, they also rule out Fabbro being his representative. They are not aware of any possible exit and the player’s plans are still to fight for a position in Colo Colo.

Darío Lezcano is still in Colo Colo

In fact, when Lezcano had the chance to leave Colo Colo for Emelec, in the middle of the year, others were the ones who managed the failed transaction. Hugo Brizuela and his brother Eliezer led the negotiations, which ended without a solution.

Meanwhile, the one who managed his career when he was in Mexico and arrived in Colo Colo, was Lucas Domenech. Even the latter told DaleAlbo a year ago that he saw the chance of reaching Colo Colo as very difficult. “He renewed recently. He has a salary among the most important on the team“, he pointed.

The truth is that Darío Lezcano’s soap opera gets complicated in Colo Colo. The player hardly added any minutes in the preseason. He was only present for 45 minutes in the duel against Liverpool, where he showed an acceptable level. Despite this, Black and White are still looking for a nine for this season.

In addition to Paiva himself, another Paraguayan scorer appeared, Alex Arce, who plays for Argentina’s promotion. However, it is not clear that these options will materialize. For now, they are just polls or the typical moves of representatives at this time of year.

In Black and White, yes, they move against time. They have already assured the presence of Lucas Cepeda and Arturo Vidal. In theory, in accordance with Jorge Almirón’s request, all that remains is to hire the center forward in order to close the professional squad.
