Alberto Gamero, Deportivo Cali's coach, is planning the squad for 2026 and has requested the signing of Colombian midfielder Daniel Cataño, who is 33 and was previously managed by Gamero at Millonarios. Information from Carlos Antonio Vélez indicates that Gamero has approached the board about bringing Cataño to the club as part of a plan to sign eight or nine new players. Cataño departed Millonarios to join Bolívar in the second half of 2025 and has a current contract with the Bolivian team for another year and a half, which is a potential obstacle in the negotiations. The player has one cap for the Colombian national team, and his current market value is estimated to be €450k, according to Transfermarkt.
