Colón owe Espínola, await 'post-election dollar' to avoid FIFA ban | OneFootball

Colón is experiencing a week of great financial uncertainty. Despite not yet receiving the notification of inhibition from FIFA, the risk of sanction remains due to the outstanding debt with Paraguayan footballer Alberto Espínola.

The central issue is the lack of funds to settle the $375,000 plus 12,800,000 pesos owed, whose payment deadline has already passed.

Dependence on the Economic Scenario

The rojinegra management is negotiating a bank loan to regularize the situation. However, the realization of this operation is directly dependent on the economic scenario that unfolds after this Sunday's elections, with the movement of the dollar and interest rates being factors that complicate any negotiation at this time.

Adding to this scenario is the issue of Leonel Picco's transfer, as Platense has not yet fulfilled the agreed installments, creating a financial imbalance in the club's coffers.

The current board seeks to settle this matter before the end of its term, although the reality is that the necessary money has not yet been gathered. While the inhibition has not materialized, interest will continue to accrue if the payment is further delayed. Colón is navigating critical hours, tied to external factors and hoping for a solution next week to avoid another institutional blow.
