Levinton: Unión sold Malcorra to Tijuana, I was never paid | OneFootball

Sergio Levinton, owner of Ignacio Malcorra's transfer, spoke on ADN GOL about the payment of 50% of Nacho's transfer when he was sold from Unión to Tijuana.

Truthfully, on Friday, after they called me to potentially do this interview and so on, well, all the information came out, because the information came out in Santa Fe, and they started to call and I always, honestly, have been very respectful with journalists, with the media, especially those supporting Santa Fe, who have treated me very well, all 25 years of my career, right? So, well, there was a change, going back to your question, there was none, they simply told me, even the lawyer made comments, that he made a comment before the match, well, I am the president of the club, but nothing, on the contrary, if I had to say, I would say that it would be one, he continues with his denial, he continues to cover the sun with his hands, and well, it's fine, it's a policy that the president chose, for 10 years, when he should have complied with something that he did not comply with, and the surprised one, he said he was surprised by the ruling and so on, I am surprised that I have been waiting 10 years for a ruling that should be clear, it should not have taken more than a year or two with all the documentation that was presented, but well, you said, justice is slow.

The reality is that, no, the lawyers, each one has their lawyers, and the trial was unified, we started a trial of Unión in Santa Fe, and it was unified because there was, let's say, the first part, one of the involved was Aldosivi, and the same Nacho, at that time we had asked to desist, because we do not consider, even though he was a witness of all the papers that were signed, he took absolutely everything, the judge considered that he had to be responsible a little for everything, we had asked to desist from that because we consider that the player at the time did not have the responsibility for the non-payment of the clubs, of the agreements that were signed, when the first war of Aldosivi in Unión was made, and then the sale of Unión to Tijuana from Mexico. No, they are not the same, and the amount is the amount of half the value, which is 375, which we said is half the value that was made to appear in the official sale of Unión to Tijuana, plus the interests, the costs obviously, apart from the costs of the lawyers, the percentage that is established to charge the lawyers, what this does bring is more than 10 years of interest, it is quite a lot, I would say that it is 80% more, at the time I had commented the 50, but here is the 80% of the value, and it is a first instance sentence, yes, it is firm in first instance, they have the possibilities, more than if they appealed to the sentence, now the time will eventually come to show and always open intention, well, the people of Aldosivi also have a conviction, and have a debt and so on, but well, the lawyer of Aldosivi, the president of Andocidi, called me, we talked, we conversed, we have already reached an agreement that will surely be signed before the end of October, and on the side of Unión there were conversations, not mine but my lawyers, with one of the club's lawyers, who stayed with the president and transmitted the fact that if they were going to go to the Chamber, there is the possibility of settling it, if they are going to go to the Chamber, well, the interests will continue to accrue and then it will be worse, and with a firm sentence from the Chamber there is no turning back, it is like that because he will have to pay, the truth is that all I want is to pay, I do not want to harm a club, I do not want to harm anything, I want what was signed to be fulfilled and it took 10 years to get out of that sentence.

Bragarnik has nothing to do with it other than an ethical and moral issue as a representative, if he has in some way a responsibility towards me as a colleague, then I could say that undoubtedly there were damages and losses with his actions in that movement, but not officially, because I cannot claim a representative for taking charge of a player or another player who was mine and so on, it is an internal issue that has nothing to do with the trial itself, nor with the claim that is made, nor is it sold. Then how it was sold and so on is an issue eventually between Bragarnik and Unión.

The one who signed me, it was not Bragarnik, the one who signed me is Unión, that's where we made all the agreements and knew perfectly well what the agreement was, and you can actually sell 50% and the federative ones. So I ask you, if I took charge of a player at the time that businessmen could take charge of the economic rights of a player, that was until 2015, and you actually in 2012 made the purchase of the player on Comodoro Rivadavia street, you have all the papers, you invested and everything, and all the clubs to which you are ceding, that is to say between the clubs better said, you are selling all 50%, an example I tell you, the player reaches an age like Nacho is now for example, and I never collected because everyone sold 50%, they replaced the right to be using the player, so everyone buys 50, leaves the other 50 and it is not like that, there is also a regulation. And actually it would be very good if you go to see there in Tijuana if they really registered 50% in the Mexican Football Federation, because it is not like that, they took charge of the whole player, so where are the papers eventually that a child says he sold 50%, and yet if he sold 50% he never consulted me if I agreed with the value of that sale, and at that time and whatever, he also said that yes or yes I had to decide, because I was the owner of 50%, do you understand? Nothing was ever consulted, nothing was ever done, they did everything wrong, they did everything wrong not to pay, as simple as that.
