Colón’s suspension: is it automatic? Alberto Espinola’s lawyer explains | OneFootball

The possible sanction of Colón requested by Paraguayan player Alberto Espínola is due to an outstanding debt of 375,000 dollars with an annual interest rate of 5%. After the court ruling was ratified ordering the red-and-black institution to pay the amount owed—whose deadline expired on October 17—panic began over the possible sanction.

According to Espínola’s lawyer, Fernando Baredes, who spoke on ADN on Radio Gol 96.7 FM, he explained: “Alberto will have to go with his ruling and say, look, the deadline has passed and Colón didn’t pay me. Then, automatically, that’s when they sanction them.” This sanction would prohibit Colón from registering players during the next three transfer windows.

Consequences of the Sanction

– The sanction would directly affect Colón’s sporting plans for the next season. – The club would be barred from registering new players in the next three transfer windows. – The sanction would occur after an administrative process at FIFA, once Espínola files his claim and the non-payment is verified.

Negotiations and Possible Solutions

– Colón’s management is trying to negotiate with Espínola to avoid the sanction, but the player has rejected the proposed installment plan. – They are seeking a bank loan or to use the debt that Platense owes Colón to settle the debt with Espínola. – Platense’s president, Sebastián Ordóñez, acknowledged they are behind on payments for Leonel Picco’s transfer and that they are working to “lend a hand” to Colón on this financial front.
