According to Sport, the Eldense club transfer agreement has taken an unexpected turn. Former owner Pascual Pérez filed a request last Friday to freeze all club shares because current owner Carolina Olcin has failed to pay a 1 million euro loan. If the court approves the freeze, the preliminary agreement reached between Messi and Eldense for the acquisition would be suspended.

The legal process began after the loan default, which was issued to Olcin by Elda businessman Pérez in December 2025. Messi's legal team is already aware of the situation. The lawsuit filed at the First Instance Court of Alcobendas, demanding that Olcin pay the debt, came one month after a payment notice was sent via fax and electronic means, but neither the Colombian businesswoman nor her husband and associate, Juan Carlos Trujillo, has responded.

The debt amount acknowledged by Olcin herself is 1.09 million euros, with the payment deadline having passed on June 30. Previously, both parties signed an additional agreement to delay the original payment date of March 31.

Pascual Pérez's legal representatives maintain that filing the lawsuit coinciding with news of Messi's acquisition of Eldense breaking the same week is purely a "matter of timing." This legal action was taken after recent failure to reach an agreement with Olcin.

The Colombian businesswoman, represented by lawyer Javier Tebas-Llanas in negotiations, proposed a logical solution to Pérez: settling the debt on the day of the club transfer through credit assignment. The problem is, this verbal proposal never materialized into a written agreement.

The loan was personally signed by Carolina Olcin on December 23, 2025, to address Eldense's liquidity needs. At that time, the club had experienced salary arrears in October and November, although management paid employees and players retroactively in early December. The actual amount disbursed was 998,000 euros, which is the amount now being sought by the creditor in the lawsuit.

Although the contract terms do not explicitly establish collateral, Pérez believes that Eldense shares are Olcin's only known asset in Spain. Therefore, the Elda businessman filed a request to freeze the shares because he believes that if the club owner transfers the shares, there would be nothing to hold him to in Spain.

According to the lawsuit, Pascual Pérez states that his intention is not to prevent the sale, but to ensure that the transaction takes place with known liabilities and to guarantee that debt repayment is included in the transaction. Furthermore, the plaintiff has requested that the court notify the Spanish Sports Authority, the body responsible for approving club ownership transfers, regarding the freeze order. If the transaction is completed before the freeze order is issued, the Elda businessman is requesting that Olcin's rights to collect the transfer price be frozen and is demanding that up to 998,000 euros, plus interest and legal fees, be held in judicial escrow.
