Shock at Colón: is the ban not on Alberto Espínola? | OneFootball

In recent hours, it has emerged that the restriction imposed on Colón may not be the one initially presumed, which was thought to be due to a claim by Paraguayan player Alberto Espínola. Although FIFA’s bulletin does not specify which club or player is the claimant, club officials suggest that the issue is actually related to River Plate of Uruguay over the transfer of José Neris.

At first, everything pointed to the measure coming from the Paraguayan full-back, since the deadline for payment had expired and the payment had not been made. However, it is now claimed that the origin of the restriction is different.

According to sources within the club’s management, it is due to a fine that Sabalero has already paid, but the Uruguayan club delayed in notifying FIFA. It’s worth remembering that this board had agreed on a payment plan with River, fulfilling all the installments corresponding to 65% of the forward’s transfer fee.

In fact, after sending the final installment, the Santa Fe club was expecting the Uruguayan club to confirm the closure of the agreement with FIFA, something that, apparently, was not done in a timely manner. For this reason, Colón is waiting for this situation to be resolved and for the restriction to be lifted in the coming days.
