In a week convulsed by the controversy between Carlos Tevez and the AFA leadershipPresident Javier Miley reintroduced the topic of Sports Joint Stock Companies. “The best way to end caste in Argentine football is to introduce competition. Our project does not imply that clubs do not exist as they exist today, but it gives the possibility that other societies exist. We have concrete offers. Manchester City wants to buy a club from Argentinaa very big one”Milei said on LN+.
Milei’s statements sparked all kinds of rumors, especially on social networks. Independiente was the team that came out on top as a possible candidate, due to its close ties to Macrismo.

But in the course of the afternoon, San Lorenzo was the institution that positioned itself as the one targeted by the Arabs over Independiente, always according to that parallel world that is social networks. “The big club that wants to buy the City Football Group is San Lorenzo. Macri spoke with Moretti and asked him to support the SAD. In exchange, the Arabs would give him the money to build the new field on Av. La Plata.

I don’t see them prospering in the country because of the idiosyncrasy of the Argentine. For the Argentine soccer fan, the clubs belong to the members and it is good that it is that way,” Moretti told Clarion in December of last year.
Also, it is worth remembering that in January of this year, in the first Members’ Assembly of the new management, the rejection of the SAD was ratified. That day, unanimously, it was decided to issue a statement denying the arrival of the Sports Joint Stock Companies, supporting Article No. 8 of the ‘Cyclone’ statute.
“The civil association may not be converted into a public limited company or any other type of corporate framework that implies the interference of private capital in the administration and government of the club, nor may the dissolution of the CASLA be resolved, as long as there are one hundred (100) members with the right to vote, willing to support it”it concluded.
