Arboleda did it: he annoyed even his own agent, saga ends in a week | OneFootball

Arboleda is definitely alone and without support in his decision to leave São Paulo.

According to what AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR has learned, it was the 34-year-old center-back’s agent who decided to buy him a ticket to travel to Brazil on the night of last Thursday (4/30). But once again, he stood them up.

It was the third straight time the Morumbi club had worked with a date for a hypothetical return and ended up empty-handed.

This time, however, Pepe Chamurro’s involvement gave the slight impression that things could be different. The agent is in a hurry, after all, because he liked São Paulo’s signal that Arboleda could have his contract terminated. Behind the scenes, there was talk of offers for the player not only in Ecuador, but also here in Brazilian football.

But the defender’s disappearance made everything go south. For about 15 days now, Chamurro has seen potential suitors for Arboleda’s football back out because of his indiscipline.

And, to make matters worse, Arboleda has not even been answering calls from his own agent. He was already not doing so with São Paulo. The club’s legal department even spoke to him through Rafinha.

This whole situation has escalated even for Chamurro, who is already openly talking about dropping the player’s representation. To do that, however, he first promises to sort things out with São Paulo. He told Rui Costa that he will be at the Barra Funda training center during the course of next week to settle everything. Without any concern for it being even minimally good for the player.

Internally, São Paulo believes it is legally protected to take whatever measures it deems necessary. AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR has learned that the legal department has already prepared all the necessary documentation for different scenarios, from docking wages for the days of absence to imposing a fine for indiscipline. The expectation, however, is that the outcome will be the termination of the contract by mutual agreement.

Arboleda has been absent from São Paulo’s activities since April 4. That means that starting Monday (4), the club will be able to go to FIFA, demanding financial compensation (the fine of nearly R$ 600 million) and effectively freezing his career.
