Universitario de Deportes faces dispute over Jorge Gutiérrez signing
The signing of Panamanian defender Jorge Abdiel Gutiérrez by Universitario de Deportes has triggered a legal and administrative dispute. Luis José Pico, who claims to be the player's official FIFA representative, is considering filing a complaint with FIFA regarding the transfer process.
Pico alleges that the club bypassed his agency and negotiated directly with the player, claiming that Gutiérrez was “manipulated and coerced by external persons” to accept the proposal. The representative specifically criticized club delegate Martín Kohatsu, accusing him of acting without principles during the negotiations. While Pico maintains the club acted unethically, he also noted that the player bears responsibility for negotiating his contract without informing his official agency.
On the pitch, Gutiérrez's debut may be delayed. Although the transfer from Deportivo La Guaira has arrived at the club, he currently lacks the necessary field permit (carnet de cancha) required to play in the upcoming match against FC Cajamarca for the Liga 1 Torneo Clausura.
