Colón begin to recoup some of Platense’s debt for Picco | OneFootball

Platense has begun to settle part of the debt with Colón for Leonel Picco, although in Santa Fe they are keeping a close eye on the figures that are still pending. 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 his 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 this operation, a key figure for the club’s finances at a time when fresh resources are needed.

However, the core of the conflict is not only about the sale to Brazil. From 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 rights. It is precisely on this amount that the first movement has reportedly occurred, according to Radio Gol (FM 96.7): a partial payment that, while a gesture, is far from settling the account.

At Colón, they acknowledge that no money directly linked to the transfer to Brazilian football has yet been received. In other words, 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 ongoing.

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

For now, the only 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.
