economic relief and a headache for Zielinski

Ricardo Zielinski is about to lose a key player in the starting squad. It is not due to injury or suspension; It is for a sale that is about to materialize. Is about Sergio Barretothe 24-year-old defender who has a foot and a half in Mexican soccer.

It goes? It cannot yet be said that his departure is a fact, although everything is on track for that to happen and it will end up being confirmed in the next few hours if the details of an operation that will leave Independiente about 2,200,000 dollars for 70 percent of the Correntino pass.

The Pachuca Group put its strong interest a few days ago in this defender emerged from the Diablo quarry that Accumulate 119 games in the Red and a goal. The negotiation began with a first offer of two million dollars that was later improved and fell well with the leadership of Avellaneda’s cadre because he urgently needs money to be able to pay the huge debt with America that has inhibited him.

It is about 5.7 million of the North American currency. With what he enters through Barreto (if his transfer ends up being sealed) plus the proceeds from the collection of the fans led by Santiago Maratea (he has more than 800 million pesos) the amount would be covered.

Barreto has not played for 15 days due to a sprained left ankle and is waiting expectantly to find out if he will wear red again or not. Missing? Resolve tax issues that would be absorbed in equal parts by both parties, details of the payment method and the purchase option for the remaining 30 percent (it would be 500 thousand dollars).

On February 24, this defender had renewed his bond until December 2024 with the promise of being transferred abroad if he made a specific offer. is that independent had dismissed an interest from Boca and another from outside and the central defender was looking to take a leap in his career, beyond being one of the current captains in the Independiente dressing room.

This time it seems that his wish will come true. For the Red it will mean economic relief, although for the Russian Zielinski it is a problem since he does not have many variants in the professional squad in defense.

Another lawsuit against Red

Talleres sued Independiente before the Professional League and before the TAS (Superior Arbitration Court) for a large debt on the part of Jonathan Menéndez’s pass, a transfer made in 2018. The total amount claimed amounts to $650,000 with interest and fines included .

The forward arrived at the Avellaneda club in 2018 in exchange for three million dollars for 90 percent of his pass, but from Independiente they owed a part. The previous leadership commanded by Hugo Moyano stopped responding to the directive of the T, which now decided to take action to try to collect at once.

From Independiente they are aware of the debt, but they warn that the priority is to first lift the inhibition of America and then take charge of the rest of the claims accumulated a long time ago.
