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

The Uruguayan forward will arrive in Guayaquil this Sunday to seal a three-season deal with the "Electric" team. The attacker considered himself a free agent due to unpaid wages at the Santa Fe club, in a move that sparked a strong legal dispute with the Sabalero management.

Emelec shook up the Ecuadorian market by finalizing the signing of José Neris. The forward, who until recently was part of Colón de Santa Fe, decided to unilaterally terminate his contract by declaring himself free to act due to unpaid salaries. With this scenario, the player is expected 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 deemed contentious, as the Argentine institution claims that the player did not follow the proper legal steps to declare himself free. Despite the Santa Fe club's attempts to retain their asset, the player's camp expedited negotiations for the "Bombillo" to acquire his rights without a transfer fee.

Emelec adds a high-caliber option to their forward line, taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the breakdown in the player's relationship with his previous team.
