Mateo García Transfer from Once Caldas to Millonarios

Futbolred reports that Millonarios has confirmed through its official channels that Mateo García is arriving from Once Caldas. Millonarios FC stated that García became a new player for the team after he completed his medical examinations and documentation. According to the club, his sporting rights were acquired and he signed a contract for three years.

According to journalist Esteban Jaramillo, Once Caldas player Mateo García will be a new player for Millonarios in the coming days and will become their second reinforcement for 2026. Jaramillo also indicated that García did not agree on his remaining salary with Once Caldas, and that Millonarios sent up to three offers for the player, with the last being the closest to the demands of Once Caldas, which finally yielded. Journalist Felipe Sierra revealed that Once Caldas has already authorized García to negotiate personal terms with Millonarios while negotiations, which are very close to being finalized, continue. Sierra also said that Thursday would be the decisive day to finalize the signing.

Millonarios sent a third offer for Mateo García. The proposal is for 80% of the player's sporting rights and corresponds to the percentage requested by Once Caldas in their counteroffer. Once Caldas is analyzing it. According to journalist Julián Capera, all parties are willing for the transfer to happen and the player wants to join Millonarios. It is expected that an agreement will be reached soon so García can join the club's preseason in December.

Millonarios made an initial offer for 50% of Mateo García's rights, which was rejected by Once Caldas. Once Caldas submitted a counteroffer and is open to Mateo García's transfer to Millonarios, on the condition that the financial terms are improved. The club is interested in retaining 50% of the rights for a future sale. Felipe Sierra reported that the atmosphere between the parties is good and that Millonarios is expected to make a second offer closer to Once Caldas' demands.

Journalist Guillermo Arango reported that the option for Mateo García of Once Caldas to join Millonarios has been reactivated. Arango stated that he views the transfer as difficult, noting that half of the player's rights are being offered, while Once Caldas asked for 1.4 million dollars six months ago. It is also reported that García interests Junior and has offers from abroad as a result of his good performance in the Copa Sudamericana.

According to journalist Felipe Sierra, Millonarios made an offer to purchase 50% of the economic rights of Mateo García, who is a priority for the club and its technical staff for 2026. Millonarios has previously attempted to sign the player twice, but the high demands of Once Caldas have prevented the success of negotiations. Sierra reported that Once Caldas will meet to evaluate the offer and will make a counteroffer in an attempt to reach an agreement for the player to join the Bogotá club. The offer is reportedly double what was previously offered but is still considered insufficient, so negotiations are expected to continue for several days.

Futbolred reports on Millonarios' interest in signing Mateo García. Millonarios approached Mateo García to explore the possibilities of signing him. However, the transfer could not proceed because García played with Once Caldas in the second round of the championship, making him ineligible for a transfer to any Colombian team this semester.

Mateo García has been approached by Millonarios. Once Caldas posted a photo with the phrase 'Se queda', implying that negotiations did not succeed with Millonarios, as the offer was considerably low. Journalist Felipe Sierra clarified that the player never requested a transfer and aims to do his best for the team. However, the negotiation is not closed, and Millonarios may improve their offer or abandon the pursuit.

Futbolred has reported on the unsuccessful transfer attempt of Mateo García to Millonarios. Mateo García, who plays as a midfielder for Once Caldas, was a significant target for Millonarios. The club had been pursuing this transfer for more than a year, with García reportedly having shown a strong desire to relocate to Bogotá. Despite promising negotiations and advanced contract discussions, the transfer did not materialize. The negotiation process included a potential player exchange involving Juan José Ramírez and Santiago Giordana from Millonarios, but an agreement was not reached. The failure of the transfer is attributed to the high valuation set by Once Caldas, who priced García at 4 million USD, contrasting with a Transfermarkt valuation of 900,000 EUR.

Millonarios has sent a formal offer to Once Caldas for Mateo García, a player they have been interested in for some time. The journalist Diego Rueda stated that joining Millonarios is the first possibility for the player, and his signing is almost ready. However, Felipe Trujillo, the manager of Once Caldas, mentioned that the offer was not attractive enough for the club, and Mateo García is currently working on his recovery. The deal is expected to take several days to finalize as Millonarios needs to make a more attractive offer.

Mateo García, who is currently playing for Once Caldas, has been performing well and attracting interest from several major Colombian football clubs. Millonarios is reportedly the club closest to signing him. Journalist Javier Hernández Bonnet indicated that Millonarios has made an offer for García, with the potential transfer expected to occur in the next semester. However, journalist Juan Esteban Londoño noted that Once Caldas has neither received any formal offer nor had any conversations with Millonarios regarding García. The club is presently focused on concluding the current semester strongly. It is suggested that Millonarios might pursue García after the conclusion of Liga I in late June, particularly because they are anticipated to lose two players in García's position.
