Corinthians hit with new transfer ban after delayed CNRD payment | OneFootball

Corinthians has been hit with another punishment restricting the registration of players. This time, the club received a six-month transfer ban due to a delay in paying an installment of the agreement signed with the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD), a body linked to the CBF.

The obligation that came due last Friday corresponds to the fifth installment of the agreement and is estimated at approximately R$ 8 million. So far, the club’s board has not set a date to settle the debt.

The sanction takes effect immediately and represents the third transfer ban received by Corinthians in the last two months. The document confirming the decision was first obtained and published by ge.globo.

The previous two punishments were imposed by FIFA. The first stemmed from a debt owed to Philadelphia Union, from the United States, related to the signing of defensive midfielder José Martínez in 2024.

The second sanction was applied last week, after Corinthians failed to pay a disciplinary fine of US$ 225,000, an amount currently equivalent to around R$ 1.151 million.

The penalty is related to debts involving three deals: José Martínez, signed from Philadelphia Union; Charles, acquired from Midtjylland of Denmark; and Talles Magno, whose loan move was negotiated with New York City FC of the United States.

The current issue with the CNRD is not an isolated episode. Corinthians had already faced delays in previous installments of the same agreement.

In the first two installments, the payments were made after the originally established deadline. The club’s board understood that the five-day period granted to provide proof of payment could also be used to make the payment itself.

The CNRD, however, interpreted the delay differently and imposed a transfer ban on the club. Even after Corinthians provided proof that it had paid the installment the day after the punishment, the Chamber decided to keep the sanction.

In that episode, the club was prevented from registering new players for approximately three months.
