Independent “he is scraping the bottom of the pot to pay inhibitions” according to what its President said a few days ago on DSports Radio and for that very reason made a transcendental determination that aims to lift the embargoes imposed by FIFA, facing the transfer market that Argentine football faces.
The “Rojo” presented all the necessary documentation to Banco Nación to obtain a loan in pesos to cover US$ 2,200,000 that it has in debts and “achieve liquidity in extraordinary situations and increase the club’s Net Assets” as Double Yellow learned.
From the Avellaneda institution they told this medium that the club can access this money since in December 2023, the Civil and Commercial Court No. 5 of Lomas de Zamora declared the definitive conclusion of the Preventive Creditors’ Bankruptcy, for which can return to the credit market.
In the same sense, they explained that The bank would grant the requested amount in dollars, however, the club would return its debt in pesos at a fixed rate for the first three years. and at variable rate in the last 24 months.
It should be remembered that Independiente is inhibited by FIFA due to the debts it has with Fernando Gaibor for US$ 2,379,000 plus 5% interest that has been running since February; US$ 1,650,000 with Gastón Silva plus 15% annual interest from December 2022 and a fine for late payment of US$ 330,000.
In addition, he must pay US$490,000 to Tijuana for Facundo Ferreyra; US$95,000 to Mazatlán for the loan of Sebastián Sosa and US$1,800 to City Pak for the training rights of Edgar Elizalde. In total, the debt amounts to US$5,474,765.
For this reason, it is impossible to add players to the recently announced team led by Julio Vaccari.
“The two largest inhibitions add up to about five and a half million dollars”Grindetti admitted.

The Avellaneda team received 250,000 USD (loan to Everton of Chile) for Brian Martinezplus a percentage of a future sale that would be defined shortly, as Doble Amarilla learned.
