Los Verdolagas, directed by JOhn Jairo Bodmer, they have not yet closed their transfer market but in this match they will have some of the new faces with whom they are looking for a new league title.
Among them is the experienced central defender Bernardo Espinosa, who arrived from Girona; the winger Daniel Mantilla, who will have his second stage at the club, or the midfielder Carlos Sierra, who comes from Junior.
The team is waiting to register the Uruguayan midfielder Agustín Álvarez Wallace, who arrived from Montevideo Torque, and to close the hiring of the Paraguayan goalkeeper Santiago Rojas, whose signing is about to fall after the team gave up on hiring the Venezuelan Wuilker Farinez.
