Surprise at Colón: is the ban not against Alberto Espínola? | OneFootball

In recent hours, it has emerged that the sanction currently imposed on Colón may not be related to the claim made by Paraguayan player Alberto Espínola, as was initially presumed. Although FIFA's bulletin does not specify which club or player initiated the action, club officials suggest that the issue may be linked to River Plate of Uruguay regarding the transfer of José Neris.

At first, everything seemed to indicate that the measure originated from the Paraguayan full-back, since the payment deadline had expired and the transaction had not been completed. However, it is now claimed that the origin of the sanction is different.

According to sources within the club's management, it is due to a fine that Sabalero has already paid, but which the Uruguayan club delayed in notifying. It is worth recalling that this board had agreed on a payment plan with River, fulfilling all the installments corresponding to 65% of the striker's transfer.

In fact, after sending the final payment, the Santa Fe club was waiting for the Uruguayan club to confirm the closure of the agreement with FIFA, something that, apparently, was not done in a timely manner. That is why Colón is now waiting for this situation to be resolved and for the sanction to be lifted in the coming days.
