O Striker Ron fired the court to unilaterally break his bond with Atletico-MGalleging default by the club. The measure is based on article 90, paragraph 1, of the General Sport Law, which allows indirect termination in cases of delay equal to or greater than the payment of salaries, image rights or other contractual commitments.
According to “Radio 98 FM”, the Termination request is based on the delay of more than two months in the deposit of FGTS and other financial obligations, such as part of the gloves and the right of image overdue last July 20. Although the club has regularized salaries and FGTS last week, previous pending issues still weigh on the player’s legal argument.
What was the value of Ron’s purchase by Atlético-MG?
Ron was hired from Palmeiras in February this year for approximately 6.5 million euros (about $ 40 million). Since arriving in Rooster City, the striker has accumulated 28 matches and ten goals. Even with consistent performance and holding Cuca’s team, Ron has been living with a number of delays, including portfolio wages, awards and business commissions.
On the morning of Tuesday (07/22), Ron said goodbye to his companions and told coach Cuca that he no longer intends to work for Atletico. He will not re-present for training and will be embezzled in the match against Bucaramanga-Col, this Thursday (07/24), for the South American Cup.
What are the financial difficulties of Atlético-MG?
The financial crisis in the Rooster is not recent. Last week, there was a fear of lawsuits by athletes. In meetings with leaders, players expressed strong dissatisfaction with the situation. Even two athletes would have already made extrajudicial notifications to the club. Now, Ron’s case can open precedent for other players to follow the same path, depending on the judicial outcome.
Despite the movement, Atletico said it was not officially notified of the request for termination. Ron’s businessman, Hercules Júnior, declined to deepen the subject:
“Let’s let justice do your job,” he said.
