Arcieri reassures Colón: Platense close to settling Picco debt | OneFootball

The debt of Platense with Colón for the transfer of footballer Leonel Picco is very close to being resolved. The president of the Vicente López club, Gastón Arcieri, confirmed to LT10 (AM 1020) that there have already been formal contacts with the current Sabalero leadership and that the agreement to settle the debt is practically finalized.

Arcieri detailed the state of the negotiations, which aim to bring peace of mind to Colón after weeks of uncertainty. “We have already been talking, a proposal was made that I validated, and if Colón accepted it, we will surely resolve it”, explained the head of the Calamar.

The president of Platense highlighted that the dialogue has taken place with the new leadership of Colón, headed by José Alonso, and that the understanding is advanced in the financial area. “The finance and treasury area is handling that, but I know there was already a concrete proposal”, he noted.

Regarding the delays in payments, Arcieri downplayed the situation, framing it within the usual reality of Argentine football. “There was a slight delay, as happens to most clubs, but the important thing is that we are complying and refinancing”, he emphasized.

As for the sporting future of Leonel Picco, his name remains relevant in the transfer market. Arcieri confirmed that, although the player has received inquiries from other teams, including from Brazil, there is currently no agreement for his departure. “We received offers, but we are not reaching an agreement. Unless there is a turn of events, Leo will continue with us”, he indicated.

The resolution of this issue is crucial for Colón, as it would allow them to organize their pending accounts and move forward with greater predictability in their financial and sports planning. Arcieri's statements bring relief in Santa Fe, hoping that the agreement will be finalized in the coming hours, possibly through installment payments, and close a pending economic chapter.
