According to the FIFA letter sent to the club with a copy to the AFA, Independiente did not meet “its financial obligations” in the agreed payment plan after the TAS ruling that came out in May in favor of the footballer for the salary debt recorded by its passage between 2017 and 2020.
The Sports Court ruled that “Rojo” should pay the Uruguayan defender $1,250,406.39 plus another 5,000 Swiss francs for legal costs. Subsequently, the club chaired by Hugo Moyano agreed with the footballer’s lawyer on a payment divided into three installments. The first of approximately $500,000 expired on July 15. Silva gave Independiente a few more days, but given the lack of response, he returned to claim FIFA.
Fifteen days after the expiration of the first installment, the highest soccer entity notified Independiente of the inhibition of incorporating soccer players in the next transfer market until it meets its “financial obligations”.
The Uruguayan Silva arrived at Independiente in mid-2017 and spent three years until he left free in 2020 amid a wage dispute.
In sports, the squad trained yesterday with their heads set on Saturday’s game against Gimnasia, for the 17th date of the Professional Soccer League (LPF), in which they are out of the fight for the title.
Julio César Falcioni’s team, insulted last weekend by the fans during the draw with Vélez, met again at the Villa Domínico venue and is already planning a new week with changes in the goal: Milton Álvarez will reappear instead of Sebastian Sosa.
The poor work of the Uruguayan, who directly affected the result when the match was 1-0 in favor and made a key error in a rejection, opened the door on another occasion for Álvarez, who had been at a good level.
In addition, the Uruguayan goalkeeper commented in a radio note with his country’s media that Andrés Merlos, referee of the match, clarified that if he took the ball he rejected with his hand, they would charge him an indirect free kick. This was denied by Merlos in a note with ESPN and made the fans come out to fiercely criticize the goalkeeper on social networks.
