The second installment of the purchase of land for the academy, worth 510 thousand euros, was not paid. Topic discussed at the municipal executive meeting
AA BOLA, on May 23, Francisco Vieira de Carvalho said that “the act [hasta pública] “It must be considered void and the money of the first tranche paid by FC Porto, amounting to 680,000 euros, must be returned to the club.” The basis of this argument is precisely the order signed by Mayor António Silva Thiago to the publication in Diário da República regarding the sale of the land to FC Porto on March 22, that is, three days before the vote on the public auction by the municipal crowd.
Quiet Room Makes a Complaint
In this regard, the president of the Maya Municipal Chamber (CMM), Antonio Silva Thiago, says that he is “calm” and guarantees the smoothness and legality of the process, stressing that the municipality does not have to return the amount of 680 thousand euros paid by the previous administration of the SAD in reference to the first tranche of land. . A source from the local authority states that in the name of calm and friendly relations with the club, it has so far avoided filing a complaint against FC Porto for a check worth 510 thousand euros without bank coverage, issued on May 14, by the Central Bank. The previous administration, regarding the second tranche of land. Potential legal action could ultimately see FC Porto banned from issuing checks for two years, with serious consequences.

Draguis paid €680,000 when granting the land for the club's new academy, which will no longer be built in Maya.
The academy will be discussed in the municipal council on Tuesday evening, before discussing the most important points of the meeting.
The issue of canceling the operation came to the fore precisely because of the check in the amount of 510 thousand euros without bank allocations issued by the previous management of the FC Porto, which led to the meetings of Villas-Boas at the CMM. Alexandra Carvalho, the chamber's director of financial management, allegedly admitted that publication in Diário da República could only take place after the public auction had been ratified by the municipal assembly, and that the process could result in a null and void law. The check was really the last straw and the Porto leader claimed there were no economic conditions to move forward with the academy.
Antonio Silva Thiago has maintained his stance regarding the controversy. “The chamber complied fully with the law. The news that came out was all a lie, a complete lie created by an incompetent and ignorant person who did not know how to read the law and told a lie and took value from the municipality and distorted the reputation of council employees.”

Dragois issued a statement saying that “there is no concrete plan for the financial feasibility of building the training center” in Mayata; Confirms that the previous administration “was actually unable to pay the second installment.”
ABB may not be compensated
What is expected is a legal battle. If the auction is deemed null and void, the municipality will have to return the money to FC Porto. On the other hand, since the partnership with the construction company ABB (owner of 10 private hectares of the academy project) is contingent on the completion of the public auction, and this has not progressed, it is SAD’s understanding that there will be no scope for paying ABB the amount of 2.5 million euros in exchange for canceling the agreement.
Regarding awarding that company a €6.89 million contract for earthmoving, it must be remembered that there was no land movement, but rather deforestation of private land, with trees cut down and organic matter removed. The aim of this measure was to strengthen archaeological work, in accordance with the recommendations of the municipality and the Coordination and Regional Development Committee of the North (CCDR-Norte), as announced by the CMM and the previous management of the FC Porto. There are costs associated, of course, but they do not add up, more or less, to the total amount of work.
