Nazareno Fernández Colombo (born 20 March 1999) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Racing Club.[4]

Club career

Colombo came through the youth system of Estudiantes, initially joining in 2010.[5] [6] [7] After penning his first professional contract on 11 July 2019, the centre-back made his first-team debut nine days later in a Copa Argentina victory in Cutral Có over Mitre; appearing for the full duration versus the Primera B Nacional outfit.[4] [7] [8]

International career

In 2018, Colombo represented Argentina at the L'Alcúdia International Tournament in Spain.[9] [10] He made five appearances as they won the trophy.[11] [12] In the months prior, Colombo had trained against the seniors at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[8] [13] [14] In January 2020 he was called up to the U23 national team of Argentina to take part in the 2020 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in Colombia, replacing Lautaro Valenti. He started the last group stage's match against Venezuela and netted a goal.

In late August 2021, Colombo joined Defensa y Justicia on a dry loan the rest of the year.[15] On 17 January 2022, Defensa bought Colombo free from Estudiantes for a fee around 1,250,000 dollars for 50% of his pass, with the player signing a deal until the end of 2025.[16]
