Who Vicente Vladimir Ortiz Corella and exactly what participation did you have in the fleeting and unsuccessful signing by Jhon Jairo Cifuente for Barcelona Sporting Club last September?
The concern arises after the striker, hired by the previous Canarian directive – headed by José Francisco Cevallos – although never played and broke up two months later, denied that the club owed money either to him or to some of his representatives, a nonexistent one, according to what he pointed out.
“It would be good if the name of that person who is trying to collect without Barcelona owing me money is given. I have no representative, I am surprised by this that they are collecting money where there is no (debt), ”Cifuente said on radio. Sports area Wednesday morning.
The scorer’s version, currently in the ranks of the Manta Dolphin, finds place since a report by the PKF auditing firm on the Canarian club’s finances with a cut to September 30, 2019 revealed that among Barcelona’s liabilities there are a debt that involves the hiring of Cifuente.
The document states: “On September 3, 2019, the club and Vicente Vladimir Ortiz Corella held a brokerage contract where the club agreed to pay him a $ 40,000 commission for participating in the negotiation of the signing of the professional footballer contract for the player Jhon Jairo Cifuente Vergara, which is pending payment. The club has not recorded in its accounting the value of $ 20,000 of this obligation ”(total payment enforceability as of January 31, 2020).
Ortiz reappears as a creditor in the same section VIII (intermediaries) of the PKF report: “On December 18, 2017, the club and Vicente Vladimir Ortiz Corella entered into an intermediation contract where the club agreed to pay him a commission of $ 50,000 for participate in the negotiation of the signing of the player’s professional footballer contract Jonathan Enrique Betancourt Mina“
‘I don’t know what it is about’
Cifuente, presented by the management of Cevallos and Juan Alfredo Accounts (former financial vice president) as a bullfighter signing on September 11, assured that don’t understand the reason of involving him among the liabilities of Barcelona, since the previous leadership pondered that the former player of the Pyramids of Egypt dressed in yellow with “zero cost”.
“So it was (without the value of a transfer). There are some mistakes with the Barcelona issue. I went out with my settlement (in November) and we reached a mutual agreement with José Francisco. I don’t know why they say I’m charging, Barcelona doesn’t owe me anything, I don’t know why those comments are made against me”, Declared the striker, top scorer of the Ecuadorian championship of 2018 with the Catholic University of Quito.
‘Zero cost’
When Cifuente was presented as a Barcelona forward, the Cevallos and Accounts board made two points: that it would be an element to count, for three years, since the 2020 season and that came with “zero cost, without having made any investment“
Neither one nor the other. Cevallos, who after presiding over Barcelona for four years aimed at reelection for the period 2020-2023, lost last October the elections against the current president, Carlos Alfaro Moreno, and a month later, on November 18, the institution announced the contract termination from Cifuente.
And on the alleged “zero cost”, the PKF audit revealed that it wasn’t like that. This, despite the fact that Accounts returned to the scene last Monday to defend, on Twitter, that his administration paid nothing for the ‘Cutthroat’: “No value was paid for his sports rights”.
“They are things they say and they are wrong (existing debt). I reached a mutual agreement with Cevallos. I am not charging anything. I am very calm in the team I am on. Let people know that I am not charging Barcelona anything and that Barcelona does not owe me a penny, “said Cifuente. (D)
