Gonzalo Verona He is the footballer who won the lawsuit against Independiente de Avellaneda for lack of payments from the Argentine club. Verón left New York Red Bull to sign with Independiente. However, he had no idea that his life in South America would become a torment.

After his time at the club, financial problems – salaries and compensation for his free exit from the previous team – began with Hugo Moyano’s leadership. Debts totaled nearly $7 million, $6,149,689.63 to be exact.
Why was a million-dollar lawsuit filed with Gonzalo Verón?
Gonzalo Verón joined the club on January 24, 2018 and signed a contract until June 30, 2021. The idea of being part of the then-champion team was very attractive despite offers from Saudi Arabia and Paraguay. . .
Unfortunately, since his arrival, Independiente began accumulating various debts with Verón and never paid him a penny. There was even some discussion with the club secretary and they gave him 3 checks which eventually expired and were never replaced ie he received nothing.

After these events, the player was loaned out to Aldosivi where his salary was split 50/50 between Independiente and the loan club. In the end, the Avellaneda club paid him nothing and Aldosivi, for his part, stuck to the terms of the contract.
