At Colón, there is still unfinished business with no end date in sight. The club’s leadership is waiting for a FIFA ruling over the dispute with José Neris, but the weeks go by, the months as well, and the decision that could mean significant income for the club’s coffers still hasn’t arrived.
The issue also has an economic component that explains much of the expectation. Colón is claiming 1.2 million dollars for the “unilateral and unjustified” termination of his contract. El Sabalero owned 65% of the player’s economic rights, so it believes it is entitled to compensation for his departure.
Meanwhile, Neris’ career continued down a different path, as he left Emelec of Ecuador, where he did not perform well, and sought a fresh start at Defensor Sporting of Uruguay, trying to regain prominence and relaunch his career.
On the other side is Colón, which did its part in the case file and presented its arguments to FIFA, convinced that there is enough evidence to obtain a favorable ruling. The problem is that Colón’s need is moving at a completely different speed. That money is eagerly awaited amid a complex economic situation. But be careful, because the player could also appeal if the ruling goes against him, dragging things out even further.
Colón made contacts within Conmebol in an attempt to find some channel that would help speed up the matter. However, so far there has been no progress. The club’s leadership remains confident that the outcome will be favorable. Nevertheless, that confidence does not eliminate the main concern: time. Because while FIFA reviews the case and follows its own procedures, at Colón the urgencies are immediate. Each week that passes without a decision keeps frozen the possibility of receiving income that could be very important for the club’s current institutional situation.
