Colo Colo continues to explore options for strengthening their squad during the mid-year transfer market, with Diego Valdés and Jordhy Thompson remaining as potential targets. The club is awaiting the arrival of goalkeeper Vozinha while pursuing these offensive reinforcements.
Valdés, currently playing for Vélez Sarsfield, is considered the main candidate. Colo Colo is aware of his desire to join the "albo" team and is waiting for the player himself to initiate steps to secure his release from the Argentine club. The Santiago-based team plans to hold out until the transfer window's deadline, just before matchday 19, to potentially secure his signature.
Thompson's situation is less advanced. He is reportedly in a dispute with his Russian club, Orenburg, and was seen at the Estadio Monumental as a visitor. Despite this, Colo Colo has not ruled him out, with coach Fernando Ortiz reportedly giving his approval for a potential signing if the conditions are right, viewing him as a viable option for the wings.
