María Fernández attempted to redirect the discussion toward the legal framework that would govern any contract renewal, her approach suggesting that the club's position was based on objective legal analysis rather than discriminatory intent.
"The contract terms are based on comprehensive legal and commercial analysis that reflects industry standards and organizational requirements," she explained, her tone suggesting that such analysis was determinative rather than discriminatory. "Players who cannot fulfill complete organizational requirements must accept contracts that reflect their limitations rather than their strengths."
The statement was a clear indication that the club was continuing to use Mateo's communication characteristics as justification for discriminatory treatment, repeating the same legal arguments that had been thoroughly debunked during their previous encounter.
