The football world never stays still for long. One day a player is settled, the next, his bags are packed. That’s the story for Diego Collado, who is now officially done with Gil Vicente. The Spanish forward is heading back to his home country.
His next stop is Cultural Leonesa. News from Spain says he’s expected to be announced there any moment. This move sees Collado join a team that just earned a spot in the Second Division. It’s a chance for him to help a freshly promoted side.
Our sources at Record confirm something important: Collado didn’t cost a cent. He reached a deal with Gil Vicente to end his contract early. That agreement meant he was free to leave, even though his original deal with the Barcelos club ran until 2027.
Collado got his start in the game at Villarreal’s academy. He arrived at Gil Vicente at the start of last season. But his time wearing the famous ‘rooster’ jersey was brief, with only six games played. Later that season, he went on loan to Eldense. There, he found more playing time. He played 17 games, scored two goals, and made two assists. Now, a fresh start awaits him back home.
