He was considered Colo Colo's “jewel,” and today he is going through hell.

Young striker Damián Pizarro is going through a tough time at Le Havre in France. In October 2021, Damián Pizarro burst onto the Chilean soccer scene. Wearing the Colo Colo jersey, the forward made his debut in the First Division and emerged as one of the most promising players in the Colo Colo youth academy. Despite his young age, he became one of the stars of the team coached by Gustavo Quinteros. His level of play led him to be part of Colo Colo's 2022 preseason in Buenos Aires, and in 2023, following Leandro Benegas' injury, he was called up for the match against Cobresal, where he came off the bench to score a consolation goal in the 1-3 defeat. His good performances with the first team earned him praise from Quinteros, and he quickly earned a starting spot. This led Italian club Udinese to set their sights on him and announce his signing in January 2024, although it did not take effect until July of that year. However, from then on, his career took a turn that no one expected. The striker failed to adapt to Italian soccer and ended up being sent on loan to Le Havre in France until June 2026. n View this post on Instagram A post shared by DP9 (@dpizarro9)But he failed to make an impact with the French side either. Pizarro has played just 26 minutes in two games this season and is still without a goal. In fact, he wasn't even called up for Le Havre's 1-0 defeat to Olympique Lyon on Sunday. Now everything indicates that Pizarro could return to Colo Colo, although everything will depend on coach Fernando Ortiz. Blanco y Negro president Aníbal Mosa himself said, “His name was brought to us, and it's up to Fernando to analyze it. Damián Pizarro is a player who came up through Colo Colo, he's a youth academy product. Would I like him? I'm not the coach.” In October 2021, Damián Pizarro made his debut in Chilean soccer.
