Colón is going through crucial hours regarding the debt with Alberto Espínola, an issue that has the club’s management on edge and could result in a ban if not resolved in time.
The board of directors was waiting for approval from a bank to access a loan that would allow them to settle the debt and avoid sanctions. The deadline is this Friday, and the outlook is complicated.
The main problem lies in the interest that would begin to accrue once the deadline passes. Although Colón could extend the payment until the start of the next Primera Nacional, the amount to be paid would be considerably higher. As of today, the club must pay 375,000 dollars plus 12 million pesos. Reportedly, the bank loan is more convenient, as it involves lower interest than what Espínola demanded to accept an installment payment plan.
These are decisive hours in the Centenario neighborhood, where every decision counts. A high-stakes negotiation that is becoming a major headache at the end of the current management’s term at the club.
