Colón begin to collect part of Platense’s debt for Picco | OneFootball

Platense has started to settle part of the debt with Colón for Leonel Picco, although in Santa Fe they are keeping a close eye on the numbers that are still outstanding. The rojinegro club received a first payment corresponding to overdue installments from the purchase of the midfielder, but it is a small amount compared to the total sum still owed.

A partial payment and open accounts between Platense and Colón

The transfer of Leonel Picco to Remo FC of Brazil, closed by Platense for 1,800,000 dollars for 100% of the transfer rights, reignited the discussion between both institutions.

Colón retains 30% of the economic rights, so they are entitled to receive 540,000 gross dollars from that operation, a key figure for the Sabalero finances at a time when fresh resources are needed.

However, the core of the conflict is not just about the sale to Brazil. In Santa Fe, they claim that Platense still owes around 300,000 dollars for unpaid installments from the previous purchase of the remaining percentage of Picco’s transfer rights. It is precisely on this amount that the first movement would have occurred, according to reports from Radio Gol (FM 96.7): a partial payment that, while a gesture, is far from settling the account.

The money from Remo, still pending

At Colón, they acknowledge that no money has yet been received directly related to the transfer to Brazilian football. That is, the 540,000 dollars corresponding to the 30% have not yet reached the rojinegro coffers, while the administrative and contractual steps of the operation are still being processed.

The management led by José Alonso is closely monitoring the situation, as these are important funds to meet immediate financial commitments and provide some breathing room for sports planning.

For now, the concrete fact is that the Picco case has started to move. But at Brigadier López, they know that the most substantial part is still missing before the chapter can be closed.
