Moretti fights San Lorenzo bankruptcy, proposes payment plan | OneFootball

Amid the institutional tension currently affecting San Lorenzo, Marcelo Moretti appeared before the courts with his lawyer in order to halt the bankruptcy request filed by the Swiss fund AIS Investment Fund, which is claiming a debt of approximately 4.7 million dollars. The azulgrana president is seeking to prove that the club’s financial situation does not warrant such an extreme measure and has submitted a payment plan to resolve the conflict.

According to the documents he presented to the court, the Boedo club possesses assets and players’ federative rights valued at over 90 million dollars, a figure far exceeding the amount claimed in the lawsuit.

Furthermore, the president’s defense argues that the fund’s lawyers skipped procedural steps, such as requesting the freezing of accounts, before filing for bankruptcy.

At the same time, Moretti sent a formal letter from the club’s presidency offering a payment scheme that has yet to receive a response. The proposal includes:

The court deadline expires this Wednesday and, if there is no agreement or partial payment, San Lorenzo could be declared bankrupt. The situation has the azulgrana world on edge, following weeks of turmoil both on the sporting and institutional fronts. It’s worth noting that Moretti, who was reinstated by the courts after the club’s leadership vacuum, had stated that he did not accompany the team on their trip to Tucumán — where the team won 2-1 — in order to focus on resolving this conflict.

Meanwhile, the president remains in office and is preparing the next steps to take. In a delicate political and economic climate (last Monday he had to leave the club’s headquarters in a police car), he is trying to buy time and maintain governance while attempting to avoid the worst-case scenario: the club’s bankruptcy.
