In an unusual incident, Independiente player Kevin López had everything agreed to join Colón, but he left the concentration and will reinforce Instituto de Córdoba. According to what the Argentine News Agency learned, the midfielder had arrived to train and spend the night at the hotel where the “Sabalero” was concentrating, but he left without notifying anyone. Thus, the 24-year-old midfielder will face his third loan in the last three years, having been ceded to Defensa y Justicia and Atlético Tucumán in previous seasons. Although in the last hours the arrival of Kevin López to Colón had been confirmed, in what was a good reinforcement for a First National division club, his signing will finally not take place. The footballer, whose pass belongs to “Rojo”, had reached an agreement to be loaned to “Sabalero”. In this context, López arrived in Santa Fe for hours on Sunday, staying at the Hotel de Campo and meeting his new teammates the next morning. Having had his first training during the early hours of Monday, the midfielder was to approach the club headquarters to sign the contract, but when that moment came, his opinion changed: he had received a call from Instituto, of First Division, and wanted to renegotiate the conditions he had agreed with the rojinegro santafesino team. With the intention of taking care of the club's image, the sports director Diego Colotto decided to set aside his interest in the midfielder, who then left the hotel without notice and left the city of Santa Fe. Thus, López will seek to finalize his contract with “Gloria” to be able to play another season in the highest category of Argentine football.
