Aníbal Mosa, president of Blanco y Negro, addressed the ongoing search for reinforcements for Colo Colo during the second half of the season. Among the potential targets discussed was Jordhy Thompson, a midfielder currently with Orenburg.
Mosa explained that the club has shown interest in Thompson, but any potential transfer hinges on receiving a positive response from the Russian club. "At one point, Jordhy's name was brought to us, and since he is a player with a current contract, the first thing we needed was for them to tell us if there was acceptance from the club to negotiate," Mosa stated. He emphasized the difference in negotiating with a player under contract versus a free agent, noting that Orenburg has yet to respond.
At one point, Jordhy's name was brought to us, and since he is a player with a current contract, the first thing we needed was for them to tell us if there was acceptance from the club to negotiate; because it's different to negotiate with a player who is free than with one under contract, and we haven't had a response from Orenburg.
When questioned about other players, Mosa briefly touched upon Diego Valdés, a midfielder for Vélez who previously played under coach Fernando Ortiz in Mexico. Mosa offered a general comment on player evaluations, stating, "Beyond the names and values, each player is a world in itself, it's a different situation. We analyze each on its own merits," declining to provide further details.
Furthermore, Mosa definitively ruled out any offers for current Colo Colo players. He highlighted the recent contract renewal of Jonathan Villagra, extending his deal until 2030. Regarding Claudio Aquino, Mosa confirmed that he has a valid contract and is progressing in his recovery, with the technical staff counting on him for future plans.
