Chilean defender Iván Román has officially signed a contract to become a new reinforcement for Colo Colo for the second half of the season. The 20-year-old player joins the Santiago-based club on loan from Atlético Mineiro. His agreement with the Brazilian team extends until 2029, but he will play for Colo Colo until the end of the 2027 season, with no option to buy.

Román arrived in Chile from Brazil on Saturday and even traveled with the team for their match against Unión La Calera on Sunday. This move marks Colo Colo as the third club in the young player's career, having previously debuted with Palestino and Atlético Mineiro.

Román is the second significant signing for Colo Colo during the winter transfer market, following the acquisition of Vozinha, a goalkeeper who was a standout player for Cape Verde in the recent 2026 World Cup. Colo Colo currently leads the Chilean First Division with 45 points. They are scheduled to play O'Higgins on Sunday, August 16, at 5:30 PM local time.
