Another one! Argentine still 50% owned by São Paulo suspended by FIFA | OneFootball

FIFA imposed a suspension this Monday (3) on Argentine midfielder Giuliano Galoppo, formerly of São Paulo, due to a financial dispute with his former representative. The sanction will remain in effect until the player and his camp settle the payment issue with the agent.

The news was first reported by Argentine journalist German Garcia Grova. According to football’s governing body, Galoppo should have paid the termination penalty when ending the agency contract or maintained his relationship with the representative.

The change of representative, made without the former agent’s consent, led to the case that resulted in FIFA barring the player from carrying out his activities.

Defense seeks agreement

Now, the lawyers and representatives of the former São Paulo player are already working on a financial agreement to pay off the debt and overturn FIFA’s decision as soon as possible.

São Paulo still holds a significant share

The punishment has negative consequences not only for the player, but also for the clubs involved in his economic and sporting rights.

São Paulo, which still owns 50% of the midfielder’s economic rights, and River Plate, which had been negotiating the player’s departure from its squad, are following the outcome of the case to determine their next steps in the transfer window.

Giuliano Galoppo was signed by São Paulo in 2022 for US$ 4 million (R$ 21 million at the time), and he is unlikely to be sold for a similar amount, since he has been sidelined by River Plate, which left him out of preseason and is not eager to negotiate his transfer unless a major offer comes in.

In any case, São Paulo is losing out for now, since it will receive half of the money from any future sale by River of the outcast midfielder, who now needs to do more in the courts than on the pitch to keep his future in the game alive.
