Iván Román's Loan to Colo Colo Can Extend to Second Half of 2027

The loan deal for Chilean defender Iván Román from Atlético Mineiro to Colo Colo includes an option to extend his stay until the second half of 2027. This provision was detailed by the club's management during his presentation.

“

This starts with a one-year loan that has an option to be extended during the second half of 2027. In case we are in an international event, it guarantees that the player can remain with us until that participation concludes.

Jaime Pizarro, a director at Colo Colo, explained that the contract also contains a safeguard for the club should they qualify for international tournaments. "This starts with a one-year loan that has an option to be extended during the second half of 2027. In case we are in an international event, it guarantees that the player can remain with us until that participation concludes," Pizarro stated.

Colo Colo will cover Román's entire salary during his time with the club. The agreement with Atlético Mineiro does not include an option to purchase the player's economic rights. Pizarro highlighted that Román's signing aligns with the club's sporting plans and provides more options for coach Fernando Ortiz's squad.

“

In the sporting analyses, he obviously fit in perfectly well. It allows players to be repositioned, it allows for broader coverage in the sporting sphere, and that makes us project immediately not only to fulfill this second half of the year but to have a longer trajectory until 2027.

We are very pleased, given that he is also a Colo Colo supporter, that he has had experience and we have no doubt that his performance will also allow him to look towards our national team on the horizon.
