The situation surrounding the Sartor Group, which holds the reins of Universidad de Chile through the Azul Azul concessionaire, has raised concerns among fans about the club’s ability to secure reinforcements.
One key point of contention is a CMF regulation that states, “The administrator must refrain from directly or indirectly carrying out, due to the funds it manages, investments in instruments, contracts and assets issued by people related to it or its directors or shareholders.”
While Universidad de Chile maintains that the business operations of Azul azul and the club are separate entities, the long-term implications of this financial turmoil remain unclear. The club may need to re-evaluate its strategies for future reinforcements.
