The debt of Corinthians with the Federal Union has reached R$ 580,137,712.81, according to the most recent data available in the Debtors List of the National Treasury Attorney General's Office (PGFN). The information was released by ESPN.

This amount represents a significant increase compared to the same period in 2024, when the amount owed was R$ 181,702,097.08. In the span of one year, the debt grew by about R$ 400 million.

The debt is distributed as follows: approximately R$ 479.3 million corresponds to tax debts, about R$ 85.2 million refers to social security debts, and R$ 15.6 million is linked to the Severance Indemnity Fund (FGTS).

Compared to other clubs from São Paulo, these figures are higher. Palmeiras has R$ 10.6 million in debts of this nature, São Paulo totals R$ 3.2 million, and Santos, R$ 1.3 million.

Corinthians has also been sued by the Union, which is claiming about R$ 30 million. This amount corresponds only to the portion considered overdue, which is not yet part of any current installment agreement. If the club does not advance in negotiations, it may face credit restrictions and risk of execution, including the possibility of asset auction.

In response to ESPN, Corinthians stated that it is addressing the debts through a tax transaction and that, so far, it has not been notified of new legal actions related to these charges.
