Several weeks after his final departure, Marcelo Moretti is still giving something to talk about in San Lorenzo. A contract signed before a notary public in November 2024 exposed a reserved negotiation between the former president and Foster Gillett, previously related to Estudiantes de La Plata, which contemplated an ambitious economic and sports plan that included
the control of professional football.The proposal linked the club to the American businessman, who was represented in this negotiation by the commission agent Nazareno Navone. The document was valid for 45 days and was subject to a strict confidentiality clause, which explains why it was never publicly communicated to
the partners.
The project envisaged a total investment of 612 million dollars, divided into two phases. In the first instance, it was aimed at the consolidation of liabilities, estimated at about 40 million, the construction of a new Sports City and the acquisition of land in Boedo. As the central axis, the construction of a roofed stadium for 55,000 spectators was planned on Avenida La Plata, with a budget close to 220 million and an estimated start date between July and August 2025
.The second phase was aimed at sports and institutional development, with 100 million earmarked to strengthen the professional squad and another 200 million to form a trust that would guarantee the operation of the club, with coverage for annual operating expenses. In addition, additional funds were contemplated for the implementation of the agreement
