Peixe hired Cueva for R $ 26 million, in three annual installments, but did not pay the first part to Krasnodar this year. Alvinegro had the support of the Russian club for not paying the debt amid the lawsuit filed by FIFA against Peru and Pachuca.
“I never said I would like to have Cueva. There was a request, I talked about being an irresponsible player, but Sampaoli said it changed. I got to CT and the first thing Cueva talked about was I don’t blame Sampaoli, he didn’t put a gun to his head But he asked for it in the midst of success. Who dared to say no? We had two options: Ricaurte, from Independiente de Medellín, and Cueva. They asked for a higher price and we opted for Cueva. I would play more with him, “said Peres. , to Transamerica.
“Cueva left the club and went to Pachuca, took responsibility. FIFA made a forced release. We are talking a lot with Krasnodar, the player’s owner. Santos is not to blame, they understood that the player left. They will wait for the result of what that FIFA promised, which is to protect the rights of Santos. The fine is 100 million euros, but the club is not even willing to pay.
Santos hired an international law firm to assist in the Cueva case. The company agreed to receive only in case of victory in court. Christian Cueva decided to leave Peixe without authorization and obtained forced registration with FIFA earlier this year. Meanwhile, Alvinegro hopes to be compensated.
Santos wants at least R $ 26 million from the mandatory purchase clause with Krasnodar. The midfielder was on loan until January and there was an agreement triggered by the stay for four seasons, with payment in installments.
Peixe and Krasnodar speak to beat Cueva and Pachuca in court. The Russian club is the biggest loser as it has not received any amounts so far.
Christian Cueva is 28 years old and was unsuccessful at Fish. He played 16 games in 2019 and did not score or help.
