Após eliminated in the playoffs in the first semester, Millonarios intensifies its search in the transfer market to create a competitive squad for the 2026 season. The “Ambassador” club plans to sign five players in strategic positions, prioritizing goalkeepers and offensive midfielders under the command of coach Fabián Bustos.
Millonarios’s current campaign is restricted to the Copa Sul-Americana dispute. Bustos works to restructure the team after the unsatisfactory performance that resulted in the premature fall of the domestic tournament, maintaining focus on reinforcements to consolidate the defined tactical project.
Goleiros at the top of the reinforcement list
Millonarios is looking to replace its current goalkeeping duo. Wuilker Faríñez appears as the main target for the position, accompanied by another name in the definition phase. Joan Parra is also part of the list of candidates monitored by the Colombian club to occupy the target.
The arrival of new names in goal represents a strategic priority for Bustos, who evaluates defense as a critical link to improving the team’s collective performance in the next commitments.
Juan David Cuesta, winger targeted at Once Caldas
The full-back Juan David Cuesta arouses direct interest from Millonarios. Atuando for Once Caldas, the player impresses the club’s coach and coaching staff with his defensive quality and offensive projection.
Conforme ascertained by RCN, Once Caldas is not willing to release the full-back on loan. Negotiation requires a large outlay, as the club that owns the rights demands a definitive sale and does not give in to temporary arrangements. Essa stance hardens initial conversations between the parties.
Fabián Sambueza and reinforcement for the offensive midfield
Fabián Sambueza, Atlético Bucaramanga midfielder, receives special attention from the Millonarios football committee. The player meets the tactical profile required by Bustos: creativity, ability to create chances and adapt to the team’s offensive scheme.
Sambueza has consolidated experience in Colombian football, recognized for his passing precision and broad vision of the game. Sua signing would complete significant reinforcement in the intermediate sector of the Bustos team.
Estrutura of hiring according to planning
The club structures a reinforcement plan on five main fronts:
- Dois goalkeepers for complete sector replacement
- A defensive winger (Juan David Cuesta preferred)
- Meio-offensive campers (Fabián Sambueza among targets)
- Possível attacker to diversify offensive
- Additional Jogadores depending on market opportunities
Fabián Bustos actively participates in decisions about desired names and profiles, ensuring alignment between the tactical project and the squad in formation. The coach maintains constant communication with the football department to accelerate viable negotiations.
Desafios in market trading
Alguns clubs that own player rights under the interest of Millonarios adopt a firm stance in relation to the prices requested. Once Caldas refuses to trade Juan David Cuesta without receiving a significant amount, blocking possibilities for more agile operations.
International Negociações for hiring Wuilker Faríñez may lengthen arrivals schedule. Bustos’s priority in assembling a competent squad before the next Copa Sul-Americana challenges accelerates the intensity of the Colombian club’s searches in the transfer market during the period of opportunities.
