San Lorenzo strike continues: players refuse to train over wages | OneFootball

Just like on Monday, this Tuesday the football players are extending their strike because the corresponding payments have not been credited.

The San Lorenzo squad did not train this Tuesday, for the second day in a row, because the players still have not received the money owed to them by the club, which corresponds to bonuses for qualifying for the upcoming Copa Sudamericana.

Amidst the chaotic institutional moment the club is going through, with Marcelo Moretti’s future as president hanging by a thread, now the players have raised their voices after being eliminated from the Clausura following a 2-1 loss to Central Córdoba in the round of 16.

The president had promised them that he would settle the debt before the start of the holidays, but that still hasn’t happened, which is why they did not train on either of the two days this week. In addition, given the economic crisis, it is also unknown when the bonuses will be paid.

Since the team managed by Damián Ayude will not compete again until 2026, the idea was to train until December 5 and then go on break until the 27th, but with only three days left until Friday and no resolution in sight, the conflict could alter these plans.

On the political front, in recent days Ciclón officials have held meetings with AFA president Claudio Tapia, and they managed to make progress on an agreement to form a transitional committee to replace the current administration, which is now completely worn out.

The AFA has already given the green light to the new arrangement, whose main figure is Sergio Constantino —an opposition board member and candidate who finished third in the last elections— accompanied by Cristian Evangelista, also an opposition member and part of the current board. The new structure completely excludes the key officials from the current administration, marking the deepest political rupture in Boedo in recent years.

Chiqui will call a Board of Directors meeting in which mass resignations are expected, a step prior to declaring a leadership vacuum and formally empowering the transitional committee, which will manage the club for a period set by the AFA itself. The main goal will be to halt the economic deterioration —including a bankruptcy filing— and restore order before deciding on an electoral path.
