Added to the bad football moment is the news of the sale of youth players to pay salaries owed to the squad. Members’ assembly prior to the match will discuss the accounting balance for the last financial year.
This Friday night at the Nuevo Gasómetro, San Lorenzo will face Tigre to put an end to his participation in the tournament and close a year to be forgotten: with a painful situation in the standings, institutional scandals, debts with the squad and one management of Marcelo Moretti with premature wear and tear in his first year at the head of the institution.
The match will take place at Pedro Bidegain stadium from 9:15 p.m., with the refereeing of Luis Lobo Medina, and hot weather is expected. To the discontent of the fans that has been manifesting in the team’s last matches, with boos of players and leaders, is added to a fact that has emerged in the last few hours and that has further heated things up. It is about the sale to Defensa y Justicia of two youth players for the meager sum of US$1.5 million: Santiago Sosa, midfielder who is part of the Argentine Under 20 National Team, and Agustín Hauschboth for 50% of the token.
The squandering of two of the club’s promises is due to Moretti’s need to have fresh funds to meet the payment of arrears of salaries to the professional team, a debt that explains, in part, the team’s 23rd place position. In 2023, the year before the new ruling party took office, San Lorenzo finished in a position to enter the Copa Libertadores.
Likewise, prior to the meeting, the Members Assembly at the Boedo sports center, where the balance of the period 2023-2024which has already received objections from the supervisory commission, the club’s body in charge of accounting review.
Although the ruling party has the necessary number of members for approval, in the previous election the three presidential candidates of the last election issued a joint statement (Marcelo Culotta, César Francis and Sergio Constantino) questioning “scandalous hiring, irregular mutual agreements, non-compliance with contractual agreements,” among other items for which they ask the assembly members to reject the balance sheet.
The ruling party, which has had fractures in recent months, is also accused of promoting the Sports Joint Stock Companies (SAD) in San Lorenzothrough the arrival of Alejandro Tamer, Federico Sturzenegger’s bishop, to the professional football commission. The mood is also tense due to the dismissals of club idols who left the position of coaches, such as Rubén Darío Insúa and Leandro Romagnoli; To which is added the hiring of players for the reserve, associated with representatives allied to Moretti.
