Colón owe Espínola, banking on post-election dollar to dodge FIFA ban | OneFootball

Colón is going through a week of great financial uncertainty. Despite not yet receiving the notification of inhibition from FIFA, the risk of sanction remains due to the outstanding debt with Paraguayan footballer Alberto Espínola.

The central problem is the lack of funds to settle the 375,000 dollars plus 12,800,000 pesos owed, whose payment deadline has already expired.

Dependence on the Economic Scenario

The rojinegra management is negotiating a bank loan to regularize the situation. However, the completion of this operation is directly dependent on the economic scenario that will be shaped after this Sunday's elections, with the movement of the dollar and interest rates being factors that complicate any negotiation at this time.

Adding to this situation is the issue of Leonel Picco's transfer, as Platense has not yet fulfilled the agreed installments, creating a financial imbalance in the club's coffers.

The current board of directors seeks to settle this issue before the end of their term, although the reality is that the necessary funds have not yet been gathered. While the inhibition has not materialized, interest will continue to accrue if the payment is further delayed. Colón is experiencing critical hours, tied to external factors and hoping for a solution next week to avoid another institutional blow.
