Neris saga erupts at Colón: “They want me out, so this ends up at FIFA” | OneFootball

The José Neris case added an explosive chapter in Colón and raised the tension to an unexpected level. In an interview with the Colombian program Zona Libre, Argentine FIFA agent Miguel Greco made accusations amidst the crossfire against the representative of the Uruguayan player, who is linked to América de Cali.

Greco was blunt from the start in clarifying his role in the negotiation. “I am not the representative. I had a power of attorney dated December 1 to negotiate with four clubs in Colombia, including América de Cali,” he explained, detailing that his involvement arose from a formal authorization granted by Colón to manage the possible transfer. He even confirmed direct contacts with the Colombian club's officials and assured he has documentation supporting his version.

But the tone quickly changed. The veteran intermediary, 69 years old, pointed without filter at those currently managing the player. “The people handling Neris are extortionists and are working behind the scenes with the people from América,” he fired, adding: “I have the documentation signed by them and also América's counteroffer. This ends up in FIFA.”

Far from lowering the intensity, Greco doubled down by analyzing the conflict's background. “These people want to get more money. That's what's happening,” he stated, convinced that the main obstacle is financial. In this context, he emphasized the stance of the Santa Fe club: “The kid has a contract with Colón and they want to take him away. I know the people of Colón are tough because I've worked with them for 30 years.”

Is Colón in trouble over the Neris issue?

He also questioned the real feasibility of the operation with América de Cali. “I know América has no money and these people keep lying to them,” he stated, suggesting that the interest might not be backed by a solid offer. The conclusion was as direct as it was forceful: “They want to push me out of the business. So this ends up in FIFA. That clear.”
