Overview
- Corinthians paid R$41.6 million to Santos Laguna to settle the Félix Torres transfer debt, closing the principal case behind its registration sanction.
- The FIFA ban, in place since August 2025 after a CAS-ratified ruling, is expected to be lifted once Santos Laguna validates the receipt and FIFA issues formal notice.
- A separate CBF/CNRD restriction was resolved earlier this week after the club advanced a scheduled installment under its domestic agreement.
- Recent cash inflows—about R$70 million from the Liga Forte União deal and R$77 million from Copa do Brasil receipts, with part retained by Caixa—helped fund the payment.
- Corinthians is preparing registrations, with an agreement for defender Gabriel Paulista reported as advanced pending medicals, while other transfer-related debts could still prompt future penalties if not settled.
