Palmeiras demand overdue payments, set to take Fortaleza to the CNRD | OneFootball

By Lucas Passoli

Palmeiras will take Fortaleza to the CNRD (National Chamber for Dispute Resolution) of the CBF due to a debt of 250 thousand euros related to the negotiation of defender Gustavo Mancha.

The Alviverde board is demanding 300 thousand euros from Fortaleza for the sale of Gustavo Mancha to Olympiacos, from Greece, in addition to amounts related to the negotiation of Breno Lopes with Coritiba.

The first installment regarding the transfer of the forward was due in January and was also not paid.

The Gustavo Mancha Negotiation

Palmeiras sold Gustavo Mancha to Fortaleza in March 2024, but kept 30% of his economic rights. In August 2025, Leão do Pici agreed to transfer the player to Olympiacos for 4.5 million euros (about R$ 27.7 million).

From this amount, Verdão would be entitled to receive R$ 8.3 million. The agreement between Palmeiras and Fortaleza was that Leão do Pici would transfer the first two installments of the amount the club was entitled to still in September. However, the 825 thousand euros was only paid to Palmeiras with a one-month delay.

The information was initially published by ESPN and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Palmeiras tried to reach an agreement, but received no response

Fortaleza received the third installment of the sale (750 thousand euros) in November, but so far has not transferred the 225 thousand euros that Palmeiras is entitled to. Thus, the São Paulo club notified Fortaleza on December 2, still under the management of Marcelo Paz (currently at Corinthians), initially requesting payment within ten days.

Subsequently, Verdão extended the deadline to 30 days in an attempt to reach an agreement, but without success. Palmeiras even sent a proposal to pay the debt in installments, but Leão do Pici did not respond.
