While FAM is in the process of appealing through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), Velez stated that he would continue to pay Machuca’s salary in full.

New Straits Times
, Argentine media said that Machuca’s welfare would be taken care of by the club in order to avoid potential legal problems between the club and the player.
