Every day in the life of Independiente is a surprise. And not exactly the pretty ones. Millionaire debts continue to appear for the Avellaneda club of the previous management that increase the daily problems and raise the obligations to pay to the current leadership of Fabian Doman. Last week it became known that the arrival of Juanito Cazares (free from Ukraine’s Metalist) cost Red $1,375,000 between rights to the player and the commission to his representative. Now the Ecuadorian claims the money and this new headache is added to the more than 25 unpaid commitments linked to professional football left by the era of Hugo Moyano and which in total exceed 20 million dollars.
Independiente has been covered by debts for a while. Already in the last stage of Moyano’s second presidency, the Devil was the protagonist time and again due to the bad news that arose from salary claims, summonses, lawsuits and even numerous inhibitions. Some were paid off, others were negotiated with a payment plan and others were left adrift.
Upon taking office, the Board of Directors that was imposed in October of last year, conducted an audit to find out the real economic status of the institution. However, new issues are becoming known daily that have to do with more claims that fall without prior notice, such as the situation of Cazares, in which the club’s lawyers are already working.
What happened was that the previous leadership bought him the pass behind the wheel and had to start paying him on July 5, 2022 in a first installment, something that did not happen. The successive installments were not paid either.
Last week the FIFA ruling in favor of Fernando Gaibor for $2,394,000 was also known plus 5 percent annual interest. In any case, this sentence is not final and the Red’s lawyers have already warned that they will make use of the appeal while they talk with the representatives of the Ecuadorian soccer player.
There are debts of all colors in Independiente football. Of exorbitant figures and other smaller and “payable”. It is due to players, representatives, clubs, companies and coaches. The largest amount without a doubt is the one owed to América de México for 5.7 million dollars.s. Because of this debt, Independiente is today inhibited, in fact.
Another high value is the one that claims Gonzalo Verón: 4.8 million dollars. In this case, the Devil is preventively seized and there is still no final sentence.
In total, the football debt that remained in Independiente after the passing of Moyano amounts to 23,112,000 dollars.
The current leaders go one day at a time seeking to order the disorder. Some other case managed to cancel such as the salary debt with Sebastián Sosa (28 million pesos). In others, a payment plan could be renegotiated, as happened with the claim of Gabriel Hachen (297,072 dollars).
But the vast majority have yet to find a resolution so as not to end up in more lawsuits or claims in FIFA.
