Corinthians miss mid-year sales target, deepening financial crisis | OneFootball

Corinthians failed to meet their mid-year transfer sales target of €25 million net, deepening the club’s financial crisis. Talks to sell André and Breno Bidon did not result in a deal.

According to Globo.com, the club went into the mid-year market needing €25 million net. The finance department is weighing measures to close the gap, including bringing forward up to 30% of 2027 income.

Executives welcomed keeping the squad together, since three transfer bans meant reinforcements were not possible. They acknowledge that missing the budget target leaves finances in a delicate position.

Corinthians are carrying a growing deficit this year, totalling R$ 246 million across the first half. They had planned to raise €12.5 million by March through federative rights in the first window, but made no sales, citing a focus on sporting performance.

The 2026 budget projects R$ 151 million from player rights and FIFA’s solidarity mechanism. By June, the club had collected R$ 2.978 million.
