Overview
- River submitted a nine-page complaint to FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee, signed by president Stefano Di Carlo, citing Article 21 and requesting sanctions up to revocation of Martín Guastadisegno’s agent license.
- The filing alleges the agent induced 16-year-old Luca Scarlato to exit via patria potestad, avoided River’s attempts to sign a first professional contract, and offered the player to Roma, Milan and Parma.
- River’s evidence includes testimony that Guastadisegno sought about $200,000 back from the family, which the club says was presented during a videoconference with senior officials.
- Parma acknowledged it is finalizing negotiations to sign Scarlato, though no agreement has been announced.
- AFA and CONMEBOL backed River’s move, with AFA warning that players who leave under these circumstances will not be selected for youth national teams, while Scarlato’s mother denied illicit payments and accused the club of mistreatment that River officials rejected.
