Legal setback for Boca: they must compensate Bebelo Reynoso | OneFootball

Boca will have to pay Emanuel Reynoso $660,000 after the courts overturned the first-instance ruling in the case over his transfer to MLS side Minnesota United. The decision was handed down by Court No. 1 of the City of Buenos Aires, which ruled in favor of the Córdoba-born footballer. The claim was linked to 15% of the transfer rights that, according to the player, the club had made him give up before completing 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%. The payment must be made within five days of being notified of the corresponding settlement. Reynoso argued that he signed under duress, while in the first instance the courts had rejected that argument on the grounds that there was not enough evidence and that there were contradictions in the testimonies 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. At the same time, Reynoso will be an opponent in the next round, when Úbeda’s team visits Talleres in Córdoba.
