Corinthians settle Shakhtar debt for Maycon loan and avoid new transfer ban | OneFootball

According to ge.globo, Corinthians paid R$ 5.4 million to Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, settling the Maycon loan agreed in December 2022. The payment avoids a new transfer ban after a CAS ruling last Friday set a 45-day deadline from notification.

Shakhtar owed about R$ 2.4 million to Corinthians from Pedrinho's 2021 transfer. That sum was offset against the R$ 7.8 million due, with the remainder paid to the Ukrainian club.

CAS found the club in breach of Article 12 of FIFA's RSTP, confirming a one million euro debt to Shakhtar. Interest of 10% per year applied from the due dates, plus fines of 75,000 euros and 45,000 euros.

This is Corinthians' second active case at the tribunal, the first involving Talleres over midfielder Rodrigo Garro. The board are negotiating on FIFA's 3.6 million dollar ruling, around R$ 18.7 million, which could rise to about R$ 32 million with charges, and any agreement could suspend the sanction.

In January, the club lifted a FIFA transfer ban by paying R$ 41.6 million to Santos Laguna for defender Félix Torres. They also settled, in two instalments, about R$ 41 million owed to Paraguayan midfielder Matías Rojas.

Outstanding cases include roughly R$ 8 million due to Philadelphia Union for José Martínez, now before CAS, and R$ 6.26 million to Midtjylland for Charles, where FIFA ruled against Corinthians and the club have appealed.
