Cerro Porteño is on the verge of opening up a foreign player slot as Colombian winger Harold Santiago Mosquera Caicedo prepares to leave the club. The 31-year-old attacker has struggled with limited playing time, largely due to persistent physical problems that have kept him from being fully available to the coaching staff.
Mosquera has only managed to appear in seven matches for Cerro Porteño, accumulating just 275 minutes on the field without finding the back of the net. His contract was set to run until December 2027, but his departure is expected just six months after his arrival in January.
Reports suggest that three Colombian clubs are interested in acquiring Mosquera's services, which could pave the way for an amicable agreement for his exit. Alternatively, he could remain with the club and continue to receive his salary. The departure of Mosquera would be the first confirmed exit from the squad managed by Argentine coach Ariel Holan, following the earlier confirmed departures of midfielders Wilder Viera and Fabrizio Peralta.
