He considers that they want to sit precedent and prevent the transfer of athletes from continuing to have fluency that has traditionally been between one club and another.

ADS’s arguments

Nicolás Núñezhead of ADS, emphasizes when contacted by this means, who They referred to the Fetri not only the case of Alfonso, but that of even thirteen athletes.
