Strong internal conflict at Telefe: Sofi Martínez may have betrayed the network

Sofi Martínez reportedly prioritized an offer from abroad and caused anger at the channel

Sofía Martínez, one of the most highly regarded journalists at Telefe, found herself at the center of controversy after an alleged betrayal of the network. Everything happened during the Club World Cup in the United States, an event for which she was announced as a central figure in the sports coverage.

The situation caused significant unrest within the network. According to reports, the reporter may have prioritized a financial offer from a foreign network just before the start of the official coverage.

What happened to Sofi Martínez at the Club World Cup?

Telefe had planned the tournament coverage for months, with Sofi Martínez as the main sports anchor. La Tora Villar and Nacho Castañares were in the role of correspondents more closely linked to entertainment. However, at the last minute, everything changed.

According to Yanina Latorre on Sálvese Quien Pueda (América TV), a British network offered her a more attractive contract in euros. Martínez accepted and informed them that she wouldn't be able to fully meet her commitments with Telefe.

Telefe's reaction and the improvised replacement

The decision reportedly infuriated the network's management. It was then that La Tora had to fill the spot Sofía left vacant, including sports segments that weren't part of her original duties.

The anger intensified when it became known that Telefe had assisted Martínez with her work visa paperwork. In fact, during the Copa América, the journalist may have worked with a tourist visa.

Internal complaints and tension among colleagues

In addition to the conflict with the network, there may also be tension among colleagues. According to Infama, Priscila Crivocapich reportedly complained because Sofi "took her place." Nacho Castañares may not be comfortable sharing a team with his ex-partner, La Tora.

This way, coverage that was supposed to be outstanding turned into a real headache for the network. Sofi Martínez's professional future at Telefe, after this alleged betrayal, is now under scrutiny.
