When
Independiente
seemed to be leaving behind the tough defeat against
Racing
on the date of the classics, more problems appeared
for the
Avellaneda institution
.
On this occasion a
ruling against him forces him to pay the Uruguayan Gastón Silva
the sum of
2,276,000 dollars
.
The relationship between the player and the
King of Cups
broke down in 2020 when Silva claimed
that Independiente had not met the financial commitments made in his contract.
The sum that the TAS forces Independiente to pay is the result of
1,650,000
that the Uruguayan claimed at the beginning plus
296,000
in interest from 2022 and
330,000
in fines for not having complied with the initial payment.
The player's situation began during the management of
Hugo Moyano
, then the claim passed to the current leadership.
Both parties had arranged to pay the debt in installments
, but the club did not pay the first installment and the player
complained to FIFA
.
The CAS
forces
Rojo
to pay Silva
in the next 45 days
otherwise the club will be
inhibited in the next transfer market
.
Silva
arrived at Independiente in 2017
from
Granada
and was at the
Avellaneda club until 2020
.
He played
74 games
, scored
three goals and gave two assists
.
With Independiente he won the
Copa Sudamericana
and the
Suruga Bank
.
In addition to Silva, the club is in conflict with
Martín Cauteruccio.
The
King of Cups
demands
5 million dollars
from the forward for not having executed his termination clause and leaving as a free player.
Given this situation,
Caute
made
a counterclaim for 210 million pesos
since he argues that the club owes him October, November and December.
The leaders of
Independiente
allege that the amount of this debt was made through two checks that were sent to
Argentine Football Associations
.
The snowball that was formed with Independiente's debts is getting bigger and bigger.
The CAS ruled in favor of Silva
El
Rojo
has already canceled some debts
Independiente
canceled two debts with two former players, one is
Andrés Roa
and the other is
Cristian Chávez
.
The salary debt that the club had with those two players was
16 million pesos
.
In 2020 they bought Roa's pass
for 450 thousand dollars
, but he left free in 2022 when the management and the player
did not agree to renew
.
If Independiente does not pay, it will be inhibited from the next transfer market.

They bought
Chávez in 2019
for $2 million
, but the player
only played 10 games
.
In 2023 he arrived at
San Miguel
as a free agent and retired, now he returned to
Aldosivi
where he will be
the Sports Coordinator
of the team.
Despite the help of
the club's members and fans and
Santiago Maratea
's collection ,
Independiente
's financial situation
begins to get complicated.
