After the scandal that erupted when news broke that Lucas Scarlato, a youth player from the Seventh Division, would be leaving River due to parental authority, Parma has recently opened negotiations to leave a percentage of a future sale to the Millonario.
When the news came out, there were conflicting statements and tensions between the two clubs quickly escalated. Lorena Cuervo, the mother of the 16-year-old player, defended the agent Martín Guastadisegno and criticized the Núñez institution, saying that it “did not take care” of the footballer and held the management responsible.
In the first days of this year, the conflict continued. River filed a formal complaint with FIFA against the agent, whom they blame for the premature departure of a youth player without financial compensation. The claim pointed to an alleged maneuver that would have harmed the club’s assets and its youth development process.
Currently, negotiations have opened from Italy with the Argentine club, although the first proposal made was rejected. Talks between the parties began after River warned Parma that if an agreement was not reached, they were prepared to take the matter to court.
Additionally, the Millonario also notified Milan and Sampdoria, clubs that ultimately decided not to sign the youth player, who was one of the main prospects from the youth academy.
It is worth noting that these negotiations also began after the Argentine Football Association (AFA) decided not to call up to any youth national teams those underage players who, without the agreement of the club where they are registered, leave the institution—a measure aimed at protecting the interests of the clubs.
