Neris set to join Emelec after unilaterally ending contract with Colón | OneFootball

The Uruguayan striker will arrive this Sunday in Guayaquil to seal a three-season deal with the “Eléctrico.” The forward considered himself a free agent due to unpaid wages at the Santa Fe club, in a move that sparked a heated legal dispute with the Sabalero management.

Emelec shook up the Ecuadorian market by finalizing the signing of José Neris. The striker, who until recently was part of Colón de Santa Fe, decided to unilaterally terminate his contract after considering himself free to act due to outstanding payments. With this scenario, the player is scheduled to arrive in the country this Sunday to undergo a medical examination and sign his new 3-year contract.

The operation was not without controversy. At Colón, Neris’s departure was described as contentious, as the Argentine club claims the player did not follow the proper legal procedures to declare himself a free agent. Despite the Santa Fe club’s attempts to retain their asset, the player’s camp sped up negotiations so that the “Bombillo” could acquire his rights without a transfer fee.

Emelec adds a high-caliber option to its attack, taking advantage of the rift between the player and his former team.
