From Europe: the reinforcement Fernando Ortiz requested for Colo Colo

El Cacique is looking to add hierarchy and experience in goal. After a bitter centenary, Colo Colo is looking to strengthen itself to be a contender next season, although the main problem it faces is its financial situation after failing to qualify for international cups and receiving penalties from Conmebol. In this regard, the Albos are looking to strengthen their goalkeeping position, as Brayan Cortés will not be returning to the squad and will seek to continue his career abroad, with everything well advanced for him to join Puebla in Mexico. According to Cristián Alvarado of Radio ADN, the Cacique has a new option for an experienced goalkeeper ahead of 2026. This is Esteban Andrada, a 34-year-old goalkeeper trained at Lanús, who played for Boca Juniors and Monterrey, and currently plays for Real Zaragoza in Spain's second division. At Lanús, he was the starting goalkeeper for the team that finished runner-up in the Copa Libertadores in 2017, coached by Jorge Almirón. He also played in the 2018 Copa Libertadores final, where he lost again, this time to River Plate in Madrid. With the Mexican team, he reached the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. n See this post on Instagram A post shared by Real Zaragoza (@realzaragoza)According to Alvarado, this is the goalkeeper who "suits the tastes of Colo Colo coach Fernando Ortiz.
