Court blow for Boca, must compensate Bebelo Reynoso | OneFootball

Boca will have to pay Emanuel Reynoso $660,000 after the court overturned the first-instance ruling in the case over his transfer to MLS side Minnesota United. The decision was issued by Court No. 1 of the City of Buenos Aires, which ruled in favor of the Córdoba-born footballer’s lawsuit. The claim was linked to 15% of the transfer rights that, according to the player, the club had made him give up before finalizing his departure in August 2020.

The ruling determined that Boca must pay the midfielder USD 660,000, plus interest from August 27, 2020, at an annual rate of 1.5%. Payment must be made within five days of being notified of the corresponding calculation. Reynoso argued that he signed under duress, while at first instance the court had rejected that claim on the grounds that there was not enough evidence and that there were contradictions in the testimony presented by his representatives.

Boca still has the option to appeal the decision, although so far there has been no official statement from the club. Meanwhile, Reynoso will be their opponent in the next matchday, when Úbeda’s team visits Talleres in Córdoba.
