At 37 years of age, Cristian Zapata figures in Brazilian football, specifically in Esporte Clube Vitória, a club where he arrived at the beginning of 2024 and where he was crowned the Baiano Championship champion. However, Now he is back in the news because he took legal action against the team he was with recently.
Cristian Zapata took legal action against the previous team:
Although the team directly preceding the central defender was Atlético Nacional, the problem comes from further back, since from Argentina, journalist César Luis Melo reported that Zapata filed a lawsuit against San Lorenzo because They have not paid a debt of 250,000 dollars, which represents an approximate value of 974,177,500 in Colombian pesos, not counting interest.
Cristian Eduardo was in the ‘cyclone’ team for two years, during which time he played 51 games, scoring two goals and one assist. The unusual thing about the matter is that the Colombian made several complaints, but they were not answered, so he had to go to legal proceedings before the governing body of international football.

It is not San Lorenzo’s first problem with the Colombians:
Yeison Gordillo was Zapata’s teammate on the Argentine team and also informed the authorities of the non-payment, a fact that resulted in a significant fine for the team before FIFA.
It should be noted that due to the same financial problems, San Lorenzo cannot sign players, so it tries to keep those it can on the roster. However, another who could not stand the conditions was the now Junior player, Rafael Pérez.
