Santos posted a 37% reduction in its most expensive debts in 2025, according to the club’s financial statements. The figure indicates less need to rely on banks to meet obligations and points to progress in financial management.

These liabilities, linked to settlements and taxes, include installment plans under programs such as Profut, Refis and CNRD, which organize tax and labor debts accumulated over the years. According to specialists, the restructuring contributes to more predictable cash flow.

“The challenge is to keep current obligations paid on time and not fall behind on installment plans. Above all, it requires financial discipline in spending. On the positive side, Santos’ debts are more under control in terms of maturity,” assessed economist Cesar Grafietti.

The club also reports short-term debt equivalent to 41% of revenue, a level in line with financial fair play. The extension of agreements, combined with installment payments for signings, reduced immediate pressure on cash flow. “Attention and austerity are needed to maintain this condition,” Grafietti added.
