Giruado said Old Boys failed to profit on the Argentine when he was sold to River Plate in 2017 because they still owed money over his 2014 transfer from the Black Cats.

He said: "They sold Scocco and did not recover a single peso of what Newell’s spent and we owe $300,000 to Sunderland for a fee that expires on September 30 of this year. The situations are unusual.

"The best that could be done is to ask for help and recognise the mistakes. Here nobody accuses them of being thieves, nobody accuses them of anything, without proof they can not.

"But it seems to me that it would be convenient to recognise reality, although I do not think they will."

Brown is out of contract at the end of the season, with Marcelo Bielsa's side set to rival a host of other clubs for his signature.

The former England under-20 has bagged 10 goals, though it is his 14 assists this season that has caught the eye.
