Atlético offer deal, set to settle debt with Cuiabá for Deyverson | OneFootball

Atlético-MG is close to ending the legal dispute with Cuiabá regarding the debt from signing the forward Deyverson. According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, from SBT Rio, the Minas Gerais club has presented a proposal to Cuiabá to settle the debt, estimated at R$ 4.8 million.

According to the journalist, Galo offered to pay the amount as follows: 30% upfront (R$1.4 million) and the remainder divided into six monthly installments. The proposal, still according to Venê, will be accepted by Cuiabá, which should resolve the impasse between the clubs and avoid possible sporting penalties for Atlético.

Atlético had been summoned by the CNRD and had until last Monday (27) to settle the payment or present an official proposal. Failure to meet the deadline could result in future sanctions.

The negotiation for Deyverson cost R$ 4.5 million to the club's coffers, with payment divided into five installments: two of R$ 500 thousand, one of R$ 1.5 million (due on March 31, 2025), and two of R$ 1 million (June 30 and September 30, 2025).

However, Atlético only paid the first installment, failing to pay the second, due on September 14, 2024. Cuiabá notified the club and granted an additional 20-day period for regularization, but the amount was not paid, leading the case to the CNRD.

With the new proposal accepted, Galo should normalize the situation and close the case.
