Platense, Colón’s major financial headache | OneFootball

In the midst of a tight financial landscape, Colón faces setbacks because Platense fell behind on payments for the transfer of Leonel Picco, creating a domino effect on the economy.

The management was counting on that income to meet salary commitments and, above all, to advance in negotiations with Alberto Espínola, an issue that remains stalled. The Paraguayan defender rejected the extensive payment plan offered to him and is waiting for a more concrete proposal, but the club does not have the necessary funds to close the situation.

"There is no money." That phrase reflects the economic situation of Platense and, at the same time, explains why Colón is starting to consider alternatives. It has even been suggested that the Sabalero might request the intervention of the AFA to guarantee payment, although this is neither a common nor an easy mechanism to activate.

Meanwhile, in the Centenario neighborhood, the accounts remain in the red. Colón still has money to collect from other transfers, such as Alan Forneris to Racing, although that income will only become effective in December. Therefore, the delay from Platense further complicates the day-to-day of a club trying to stabilize after a year filled with sporting and economic tensions.
