The hours pass and the Colo Colo break is spreading more and more. The Black and White directive has not been able to reach an agreement with the players, who will go to the Labor Inspection. The fight over wages could trigger an even bigger problem: nine players end their relationship with the club this year, and their continuity is in doubt.
The most emblematic cases are Julio Barroso and Esteban Paredes, two members of the team who led the frustrated negotiation in recent weeks. The first renewed for two years at the end of 2018, while the second extended his contract for 12 months at the end of last year.
“If I have to go for the sake of Colo Colo, I will,” said the historic scorer to Channel 13 this week. “If this means a rejection of my continuity, I will understand it,” the Chilean national told CDF this Thursday.
According to the AS count, there are seven other players who are on the same stage: Juan Manuel Insaurralde, Pablo Mouche, Carlos Carmona, Óscar Opazo, Miguel Pinto, Nicolás Maturana and Darío Melo. All end their contract in December 2020, and can negotiate with other clubs from June.
Insaurralde has already accepted a discount on his remuneration to renew at the end of 2019, and he is one of those who feels most affected by the new salary proposal. Ópazo, meanwhile, has had several offers from abroad in recent years.
The Carmona case is also complex: it has had little continuity in the last year, and is represented by Mauricio Valenzuela, the same agent as Jorge Valdivia who participates in a lawsuit against the club.
Mouche, meanwhile, questioned its continuity: “We will see if they want to continue counting on me,” he said mid-month, when the break was not yet uncovered. A hard process that is just beginning, and that could leave several away from the Monumental.
