Corinthians owe around R$ 8 million for José Martínez signing | OneFootball

After the acknowledgment of debts by Félix Torres and Rodrigo Garro, Corinthians is also condemned by FIFA for an amount owed to Philadelphia Union, from the United States. The negotiation was for the signing of José Martínez last year, for US$ 1.5 million (about R$ 8 million at the current exchange rate). The information is from GE.

The Corinthians board already has the appeal under review at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The agreement at the time was made in four installments, with the first at the time of signing. The first of the other three was not paid, resulting in the demand for the full amount, as stated in the contract.

Just like Santos Laguna-MEX and Talleres-ARG, Philadelphia Union approached FIFA to handle the case and force the People's Team to pay the agreed amount. As in the other cases, the club appealed to CAS to have time to negotiate with the other entity. The board believes it will spend about R$ 10 million on this issue, due to interest and exchange rates.

“We are trying to resolve all of them. In the case of Talleres, they have not agreed to talk to us so far. We have asked to negotiate several times. In the case of Rojas, we tried to talk to his people here in Brazil, they agreed to talk and I think it should progress. We are also reaching out to them (Philadelphia Union) to negotiate”, stated Osmar Stabile, president of Timão.

Corinthians accumulates five debts condemned by FIFA, one of which has already had the appeal denied by CAS and has become a transfer ban that could last up to three transfer windows – check the outstanding debts below:

Santos Laguna: R$ 40 million for the signing of Ecuadorian defender Félix Torres;
