It was July 25, 2021 when Alexis Sánchez made progress in the purchase of the El Galeno farm, located in the Paine commune. On the 245-hectare property, located in the Maipo Valley, premium grapes are produced, a product that generates special interest for the soccer player who maintains businesses in the same field in Italy.
On that day, the tocopillamo agreed to pay US$8.7 million to keep the land, after receiving the acceptance of the offer he had made to the Camino Feliz Agricultural Society seven days earlier.
However, in July 2022 the problems would begin: the company that intermediates in the acquisition of real estate filed a lawsuit in the 30th Civil Court of Santiago. In the document, it claims the payment of $142 million for business commission, which corresponds to 2% of the value of the transaction plus VAT.
As detailed The Third PMthe controversy lies in the fact that Sánchez and his legal advisors affirm that the purchase of the El Galeno farm was not carried out through the company.
How did the negotiation take place? In the first instance, the star of La Roja was willing to pay US$7 million, but the owners of the land demanded US$10 million. In July 2021, Sánchez visited the place and raised the proposal to the amount already consigned.
When everything seemed well on track, Engel & Völkers learned that they had been left out of the deal and decided to take legal action.
Alexis Defense
In the case file there are a series of formal communications.
In fact, on Monday, July 26, one day after the acceptance of the proposal, Manuel Alcalde (one of the owners) sent the draft to Alexis’s lawyer, prior to the formalization of the agreement.
“Dear Ruben, Attached acceptance of the offer. I am also sending you the draft of the promise (I also included the water rights of the field). If that’s okay with you, we could sign on Thursday or Friday of this week with Alexis’s sister. Tell me what you think and if you agree I can coordinate with the Notary with which we work so that we can sign in my office. Greetings, Manuel Alcalde”, reads the introductory communication.
From the soccer player’s defense they maintain that in no communication is the broker Engel & Völkers mentioned as a participant in the negotiation, although that role must be resolved by the court in which the legal action is filed.
