Crisis at San Lorenzo: Tinelli served notice to the club over a multimillion-dollar contract from 2019

The former president is demanding payment for a loan signed during his tenure and asserts that he will not file for the club's bankruptcy

Amid a severe institutional crisis and with the possible return ofMarcelo Moretti to the presidency as a backdrop, San Lorenzohas added a new conflict. This time, with the formal claim from Marcelo Tinelli, former president of the club, over a multi-million dollar debt.

Just hours before the match against Vélez, it emerged that Tinelli has formally demanded the club pay 1.1 million dollars. The claim is based on a mutual contract signed in 2019 between him and the institution during his own administration, and requires payment within 72 hours.

According to various sources, Tinelli is seeking for the club to settle the debt with an insurance company, since non-compliance could lead to even more serious financial consequences. Although he submitted the mutual contract, he stated that he doesn't intend to enforce the debt or request the club's bankruptcy.

The money in question would be linked to the purchase of the footballers Bruno and Mauro Pittón, for which the Galeno group is demanding payment. Tinelli would have acted as guarantor in that transaction.

Tinelli spoke out on social media

After the news broke, Tinelli shared on his social media a post from the ADN Cuervo account, in which the situation was explained.

"This is the real info: A claim from the Galeno group and the non-payment for the Pittóns reached the club. Tinelli acted as guarantor and now the claim falls on him. For this reason, he sends the mutual contract so that CASLA can negotiate the debt," read the text shared by the former executive on his Instagram account.
