Corinthians pay July wages to the squad | OneFootball

On Monday (10), Corinthians paid the July salaries (under CLT contracts) owed to the players. The amounts had been pending since last Friday (7), when the deadline expired. Despite the delay, the Corinthians board had committed to paying the wages at the start of this week and honored the agreement with the athletes.

The information was confirmed by Central do Timão. Even with the salaries now up to date, Corinthians still has outstanding issues related to image rights, vacation pay, and bonuses for qualifying for the Conmebol Libertadores round of 16 after finishing top of its group in the tournament’s opening stage.

It is worth noting that Corinthians is going through a delicate financial moment. At present, the club from Parque São Jorge is barred from registering possible new signings due to three transfer bans—two from FIFA and one from the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD), a CBF body—which total nearly R$ 22 million.

At the same time, Corinthians is also negotiating a contract renewal for forward Memphis Depay, whose deal expired on July 31. Timão has a debt of R$ 42 million with the player related to bonuses for targets achieved under the previous contract, which ended in recent weeks.

Alvinegro is awaiting approval from partners and club sponsors to sign the Dutchman’s contract extension, as learned by Central do Timão. However, no company has committed to helping pay the player’s new wages. Even with the problems mentioned, the Corinthians board and coaching staff stress that the squad remains committed to this season’s objectives, such as advancing in the Libertadores and climbing to better positions in the Brasileirão.

After beating RB Bragantino away from home last Sunday (9) in the Brasileirão, Corinthians now turns its focus to its next commitments this season. Next Thursday (13), at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, Timão will visit Argentina’s Rosario Central at the Gigante de Arroyito for the first leg of the 2026 Conmebol Libertadores round of 16.
