Kevin Mier, goalkeeper for Cruz Azul and the Colombian national team, is facing a real estate problem after allegedly being sued by the owner of the house he rented in Mexico City, who is demanding payment of $160,000 pesos (around $14,600).

According to information from the newspaper Marca in Mexico, Mier not only left the lease agreement unfinished, but also damaged the property and owed several months' rent, which escalated the conflict to the appropriate authorities.

This problem is in addition to the fractured tibia he suffered in the last match against Pumas UNAM in a very hard collision with Panamanian midfielder Adalberto Carrasquilla, which generated great controversy due to referee Fernando Hernandez's lukewarm reaction in only issuing a yellow card to the university player.
