With 2024 already approaching, Colombian soccer teams continue to prepare for what will be this year’s competitions. It must be taken into account that eight Colombian clubs will have international participation and therefore they do not waste time to put together the best possible team to be protagonists in all the tournaments.
In terms of number of additions, Atlético Bucaramanga and Independiente Santa Fe are the clubs that have added the most reinforcements for the league that begins the weekend of January 20. To date, this is the transfer market in Colombia:
