The report stated that the debt with the professional team and the coaching staff amounted to 291 million pesos, of which an important part was settled but that still remains to be updated.
For this reason, the preseason, which was scheduled since last December 5, has not yet started.
Gymnastics’ monthly soccer budget, which includes players and coaching staff, is 90 million pesos, while the television rights that the club receives are 52 million and that income in December could not be received, since it had been collected previously the outgoing board of directors.
Regarding the delicate economic situation, it was notified that the debt that appears with former president Gabriel Pellegrino (he gave up collecting through television rights) is 2,571,836 in the official dollar and 1,769,357 in the MEP dollar.
The composition of the debt is 60% loans and loans, 20% in foreign currency for players, 10 for debts with the squad, 5 with the AFIP and 5 for suppliers and various expenses (for example 6 million per hotel where the campus was concentrated).
Regarding the debts contracted by players, and for several of them the club is inhibited, they are with Al-Ettifaq (by Brahian Aleman) of 330,774 dollars, Boston River (Uruguay) by Guillermo Fratta of 40 thousand dollars, Olimpia (Paraguay ) by Ramón Sosa of 740,284 dollars and by the same player to Tembetary (Paraguay) of 1,054,379 and to the intermediary of the arrival of Oscar Piris 300,000.
Also for the incorporation of Franco Soldano, 45 thousand dollars are owed to Unión de Santa Fe, 493,613 to Olympiakos of Greece, 38,720 to the representative and 159,000 to the company that mediated in the operation. To this must be added the debt with Tigre for Agustín Cardozo’s loan of $73,653.
Gimnasia, in addition, was unable to sell players because money was owed to Diego Cativa, who filed a legal appeal demanding payment of USD 110,000 for his mediation in the arrival of Víctor Ayala. This issue was resolved and the club can now negotiate a sale.
It was also highlighted that due to lack of payment, the club’s employees had not had ART coverage since July and it is another of the issues that could be resolved in the first 23 days of management.
