A lot of time has passed since the goodbye of Juan Martín Lucero from Colo Colo. Since the attacker was presented as a player for Fortaleza in Brazil, began a novel that has extended to this day. Now, it seems that everything is very close to coming to an end and on the part of the Cacique, it could be concluded with good economic returns.
It is worth remembering that at the end of 2022 and after being the team’s top scorer, the attacker signed an extension to his contract, to remain linked to Cacique for a couple more seasons. To everyone’s surprise, This pact would end up being broken unilaterally and the player would end up leaving for the Rio country..
That situation generated indignation in the Colocolina board and the case was taken to FIFA, who made the decision to punish both Fortaleza and the player himself. The entire case would be transferred to the TAS, which is an even higher instance for this type of events. Well, until now it has been a situation that has kept all parties attentive.
Before concluding his term as president of Blanco y Negro, Alfredo Stöhwing provided important information about this case. “Only the signature is missing, there is an agreement, and there is a very good negotiation with Fortaleza“, a club that realizes that the CAS ruling is negative and wants to avoid punishments for both the club and the player.”
The new details of the Lucero case
The information shared by the former president of Blanco y Negro was detailed a little more by the media outlet En Cancha, who claim that Fortaleza will make the payment of 2 million dollars. Now, this amount will be transferred in installments to the coffers of the Popular.
This point represents a novelty in a case that has been going on for a long time, but which apparently is already close to ending. So that this whole matter can be put to an end, All that remains is for both clubs to sign the agreement and then make it official before the CAS..
While waiting for the officialization, it remains to be known when the payment of the first installment could be carried out. The above means a very important point for the present of the Popular cast, since a new player transfer window is approaching and much has been said about the possibility of the Cacique being reinforced in different areas of the playing field.
In addition to the money received for the Lucero issue, the Albos have already secured 1.2 million dollars, after Jordhy Thompson completed ten games played with Orenburg of Russia. El Popular may have the opportunity to have good capital to reinforce a squad that is in need of new elements.
