SAFiel accepts arena debt terms and seeks legal security from Corinthians | OneFootball

SAFiel has written to Corinthians president Osmar Stabile accepting his condition that any deal must settle the Neo Química Arena debt. The group says funding is aligned, though any release depends on formal steps and legal security.

"Let me be clear, our investors are ready. They said, 'Call us and, in a few days, the money will be sent', provided there is good faith, legal certainty, approvals and guarantees. This 'cheque first, sign later' talk is electoral game, a fairy tale, and disrespectful," said Eduardo Salusse, speaking to Voz da Arquibancada FC.

To unlock the next phase, SAFiel has requested an urgent meeting, asking the club to set a date, time and its committee. It wants an NDA signed and a data room opened, plus formal authorisation to negotiate directly with Caixa Econômica Federal over the stadium debt.

"We receive messages every day from people wanting to invest. Not R$ 250, but R$ 50,000, R$ 200,000, even R$ 500,000. These are additional investors, not the raising for the advance now cited as an obstacle. We are ready, if no further barriers appear from Parque São Jorge," he added.

The sides met last Wednesday at Parque São Jorge, a conversation the group called amicable. Vice-president Armando Mendonça also deemed it productive, then two days later produced a document with 105 questions to be answered before talks progress.

The plan targets R$ two point five billion, potentially R$ three billion, to clear football debts, fund sport and infrastructure, and strengthen governance and the social club. It proposes fan participation from R$ 250 with CPF caps, scope for external non-voting shares, and safeguards for the club’s identity with a reversion clause. It still needs statutory and members’ approvals, an independent review and regulatory sign-offs, and would be rolled out over a year.
