Santos lift transfer ban with help from Neymar’s firm, explained | OneFootball

Santos got rid of the transfer ban that had prevented it from registering new players this Thursday (27).

The club paid off the R$12 million debt it owed Monaco for the signing of Jean Lucas, now at Bahia, with help from Neymar.

NR Sports, the company owned by the No. 10 and his family, provided the necessary funds to settle the debt with the Principality club.

The FIFA punishment had been in place since early July and, now, Peixe is expected to speed up the signing of midfielder Arthur, formerly of Juventus and Grêmio.

The club’s counterpart after NR Sports’ assistance will be to "jointly negotiate kit properties that have not yet been sold"

Arthur’s signing was a suggestion from Neymar himself to the black-and-white club’s board.

An agreement on wages with the 30-year-old player was already in place.

All that remained was the end of the punishment for the deal to move forward once and for all.

The expectation is that he will sign until December, with the possibility of a one-season renewal.
