According to an executive at Peruvian soccer club Universitario Deportes, former Portland Timbers player Andy Polo had his contract paid in full by Major League Soccer and the Timbers after it was “terminated” in February. In addition, according to the executive Polo was also asked not to sue the league or the club as his contract was terminated without cause.
Ryan Clarke at the Oregonian and Jeffrey Carlisle of ESPN first reported this on Wednesday.
Giancarlo Mandriotti, the legal and corporate manager for Universitario, shared the comments in a press conference in which the club defended its signing of Polo.
