Corinthians settle overdue CNRD payment, await end of transfer ban | OneFootball

The management of Corinthians paid, on Monday afternoon, the overdue installment to the CNRD (National Chamber for Dispute Resolution). The club is now awaiting the end of the transfer ban applied by the CBF.

The deadline for the installment deposit expired last Friday. After the delay was confirmed, Cuiabá announced it would demand action from the CBF. Dourado is one of Timão's largest creditors in the CNRD – the São Paulo team owes more than R$ 18 million to the Mato Grosso club for the signing of Raniele.

Corinthians, on the other hand, believed they had five business days after the deadline to pay the debt. The club planned to settle the installment by this Wednesday, the 22nd, and was surprised by the punishment, which prevented Timão from registering new players for six months or until the debt was settled.

Corinthians found itself without alternatives and decided to resolve the issue on Monday. With the payment already made, the alvinegra management is moving to lift the transfer ban.

Another Punishment

Timão already has an active transfer ban for more than two months, this one from FIFA. The alvinegro club did not settle the debt with Santos Laguna, from Mexico, regarding the signing of defender Félix Torres. The Ecuadorian was signed at the beginning of last season, still under the management of president Augusto Melo, who was removed in August this year.

Corinthians had already delayed the payment of the first CNRD installment in mid-September, but managed to settle the amount within the tolerance period established by the CBF, avoiding the transfer ban.

Timão's collective payment plan to clubs, players, and agents, approved by the CNRD in April, has a total value of R$ 76 million. The plan stipulates that if Corinthians repeatedly delays installments, there is a possibility of suffering a transfer ban for at least six months, without the possibility of suspending the punishment upon regularization.

Raniele's Numbers

For Corinthians, Raniele has two goals and two assists in 43 matches played (39 as a starter) this season. The midfielder is an important part of the team led by coach Dorival Júnior.
