Nikão does not play for Morumbi. Is the money from Athletico or Márcio Lara?

Nikão has a contract with São Paulo until December 2024. Among the conditions for the temporary transfer to Athletico there is a fine of R$1 million if you play against the team from São Paulo.

Nikão was excluded from the Morumbi game due to Márcio Lara financial director of Athletico. He states that it is not worth paying R$1 million to have the player.

However, Márcio Lara was the one who committed Athletico to paying 750 thousand dollars net per year, for a four-year contract to Argentine Di Yorio, 29 years old. And pay an additional 7% of the total gross salary for 24 months to businessman Pablo Rivero.

Converting into real: Di Yorio, in four years, will receive R$ 22.3 million in social charges. For the businessman, R$1.55 million. Total: R$23.85 million. Considering that Di Yorio scored seven goals in 16 games, each goal cost R$850,000.

Nikão was excluded from the Morumbi game by Márcio Lara, Athletico’s financial director. He states that it is not worth paying R$1 million to have Nikão.

However, Márcio Lara agreed that Athletico would commit to paying, and as they are paying, R$18 million for Gamarra and Benítez, and R$8 million for Leo Godoy. Benítez no sooner arrived than he left. Gamarra has always been a reserve, and Godoy comes out more than he comes in.

Since Lucho González took over, Nikão has become a reference midfielder and has been playing well. Against Cruzeiro, in the victory that broke the routine of failures, it was decisive.

At this point in the championship, to stop the downward trend, Athletico had an obligation to use all its resources. Nikão is one of them. But, Márcio Lara, who agrees to continue paying Di Yorio R$450,000 net per month, plus 7% on his salary, to businessman Pablo Rivero, thinks that Nikão is not worth what São Paulo demands.

In summary, I want to say the following: Márcio Lara is one of the good explanations for Athletico’s current situation in the championship. All errors, directly or indirectly, passed and pass through him.

It even appears that the money in the cash register does not belong to Athletico.
And faced with the illness of President Mário Celo Petraglia, the silence of Glomb and Gaede and the omission of the Deliberative Council, suffocate the Furacão fans with anguish, making them powerless.
