Colón demand payment, Platense delay transfer for Leonel Picco | OneFootball

While recent market movements are still echoing in Colón, the focus has now shifted to an economic front that has raised alarms among the leadership: the debt Platense owes for the transfer of Leonel Picco, who is now linked to Remo FC in Brazil.

The Santa Fe club claims they have not yet received the money corresponding to the percentage they retained from the midfielder's transfer, and attempts to resolve the situation have not received concrete responses from Vicente López. The amount they are claiming is 540 thousand dollars, which represents 30% of the operation.

A Closed Sale, but Pending Accounts for Colón

Platense completed the sale of Picco for a total close to 1.8 million dollars, although the player has not yet been officially presented at his new club due to administrative delays. However, in Colón, they emphasize that this does not change the financial commitments made.

To this sum, an earlier amount of 250 thousand dollars would be added, corresponding to the original transfer of the player from Santa Fe to Calamar, a payment that —according to the Sabalero— should have been settled before any new negotiations were finalized.

Discontent in Colón

The lack of resolutions has begun to generate unease in the rojinegra leadership. The institution claims that efforts to collect the debt have been met with evasions.

President José Alonso was clear when addressing the issue: from Platense, they reportedly stated that “there are other priorities”, a response that did not sit well with the Sabalero environment.

With a tight economic context and the need to organize their finances, Colón considers it crucial to regularize the situation as soon as possible. For now, the Santa Fe club remains firm in its stance and hopes that in the coming days there will be concrete progress to close a chapter that, far from being resolved, adds tension between the institutions.
