Corinthians face new transfer ban after CNRD payment delay | OneFootball

Corinthians delayed the payment of one of the installments to the CNRD (National Chamber for Dispute Resolution) and has suffered yet another transfer ban. The club is rushing to resolve the issue later this Monday.

The deadline for the second installment expired last Friday. After confirming the delay, Cuiabá announced that it would demand action from the CBF. Dourado is one of Timão’s largest creditors at the CNRD – the São Paulo team owes more than R$ 18 million to the Mato Grosso club for the signing of Raniele.

Corinthians, in turn, believed it had five business days after the deadline to pay the debt, according to CNRD terms. Therefore, the club planned to pay the installment by this Wednesday, the 22nd.

Timão, however, did not escape punishment. Due to the lack of payment, the club’s board received notification from the CNRD this Monday, through rapporteur Marcelo Lessa. The club is prohibited from registering new players for six months or until the debt is paid.

Corinthians responds

In a statement sent to Gazeta Esportiva, Corinthians admitted the punishment and said it received the decision “with surprise.” The club also stated it will make the payment of the installment later this Monday and will then request reconsideration of the transfer ban.

New transfer ban

Timão has already had an active transfer ban for over two months, this one from FIFA. The club has not settled its debt with Santos Laguna, from Mexico, regarding the signing of defender Félix Torres. The Ecuadorian was signed at the beginning of last season, still under the management of president Augusto Melo, who was removed from office in August this year.

Corinthians had already delayed payment of the first CNRD installment in mid-September, but managed to pay the amount within the grace period established by the CBF.

Timão’s collective payment plan to clubs, players, and agents, approved by the CNRD in April, totals R$ 76 million. The plan stipulates that if Corinthians repeatedly delays installments, there is a possibility of a transfer ban for at least six months, without the possibility of suspension of the punishment upon regularization.

Raniele’s numbers

For Corinthians, Raniele has two goals and two assists in 43 games played (39 as a starter) this season. The midfielder is an important part of the team led by coach Dorival Júnior.
