San Lorenzo is facing significant financial and legal pressure due to debts inherited from previous administrations. A major dispute with former player Ignacio Piatti involves a debt of approximately USD 4,369,889.11, stemming from a 2021 contract termination. This conflict has led to the club’s social headquarters being placed under preventive attachment, with a potential auction looming after settlement offers were rejected by Piatti’s legal team.

In addition to the Piatti case, the club has encountered further legal embargos totaling over USD 650,000. These include claims from former player Gonzalo Maroni, representatives of brothers Bruno and Mauro Pittón, and Independiente de Villa del Rosario regarding training rights. The current leadership is managing these liabilities alongside a pre-existing debt exceeding USD 60 million.
