Overview
- River submitted a nine-page complaint to FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee, signed by president Stefano Di Carlo, requesting the revocation of Martín Ariel Guastadisegno’s agent license under Article 21.
- The filing accuses the agent of blocking River’s efforts since March 2025 to sign Scarlato’s first professional contract once he turned 16 in April.
- River says Scarlato left using patria potestad and is in talks to join Parma, with the Italian club acknowledging it is finalizing negotiations.
- The complaint claims Guastadisegno offered the player to Roma and Milan before advancing with Parma and alleges he paid the family about US$200,000 and sought to recoup it in a deal.
- River frames the conduct as part of a pattern seen in cases such as Matías Soulé and Joaquín Panichelli, while AFA has warned that players who depart under similar conditions will not be called to youth national teams.
