What is the latest update on the Thiago Maia case between Flamengo and Internacional?


Internacional continues to try in every way not to settle the debt it owes to Flamengo for the purchase of Thiago Maia. This time, the team from Rio Grande do Sul filed an appeal, but their request was denied by the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD).

At the moment, Internacional is running out of major alternatives to ‘get rid of’ the debt with Flamengo. The team from Rio Grande do Sul is already aware that enforcement will proceed. Thus, the club still has the possibility of appealing to the Arbitration Chamber. However, the process is expensive and usually does not have much effect on the decisions.

On the other hand, Flamengo believes that Internacional is trying to buy time with these internal maneuvers. The Rubro-Negro believes that the team from Rio Grande do Sul may try a ‘last resort’ by requesting to pay the debts in installments. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.
