With less than a week to go before the 2022-II League begins, the transfer market is one of the fewest in recent times, and no signing has been presented that makes noise.
There were only ten days difference between the final of the first championship and the beginning of the second and for this reason, many of the teams that played the final stages are hardly looking for reinforcements.

The time trial to get new faces
Teams like Nacional, the most recent champion, and Junior have not yet confirmed any reinforcements, although the Barranquilleros would have ready the Argentine Iván Rossi, a 28-year-old brand midfielder. Marítimo de Portugal, his previous team, announced on their networks that there was already an agreement for the definitive transfer, although in Barranquilla they do not take it for granted yet.
Deportes Tolima, which lost the League final, announced Andrés Rentería, a striker who was in Jaguares, the day after the defeat against Nacional, but due to his participation in the Copa Libertadores, he has not yet made any more moves.
Millonarios announced its second new face on Saturday, winger Israel Alba, 27, who was at La Equidad. He joins Luis Carlos Ruiz, second scorer in the 2017-II League, with Cortuluá. The samarium already debuted with a goal at the Daytona Fest, in which Millos beat America 2-1.
Medellín, which confirmed David González as its new coach, assured the return of Christian Marrugo from Águilas Doradas.
Santa Fe, which did not enter the finals, has moved quite a bit, but without any big noise. He hired two central defenders, the Uruguayan José Manuel Aja and Geisson Perea; the scorer of the B, Jeferson Rivas, and another player who comes from promotion, José Enamorado, who already worked with the new DT, Alfredo Arias, at Deportivo Cali.
America and Deportivo Cali, at a bad time
The two Cali teams have serious problems. America drags a sanction from the Colombian Football Federation for the Rafael Carrascal case and cannot hire players. And Cali, which is in financial trouble, has Germán Mera back, from Junior, but now he is left without a coach, after the departure of Rafael Dudamel.

Jaguares and Alianza Petrolera are the ones that have hired the most players: six in the case of the first and five in the second. Once Caldas could be added to that list, which already has four new faces and could count on Nahuel Gallardo, son of River Plate coach Marcelo Gallardo, who played in Colón de Santa Fe. The hiring is subject to passing the exams doctors.
There are few days left for the start of the championship, but the pass book will remain open. Will there be more moves?
