Why Remo’s Patrick has asked to freeze Internacional’s assets

Midfielder Patrick has taken Internacional to court, claiming a debt of 1.5 million from the club from Rio Grande do Sul. Currently at Remo, Patrick played for Inter between 2018 and 2021. During that time, he made 199 appearances. In that period, the club did not pay the player’s image rights stipulated in the contract.

Patrick filed the lawsuit in 2023 and reached an agreement with the club. The final ruling came this year. Internacional owes R$ 1,351,720.09, with R$ 1,126,799.63 corresponding to the principal amount. In addition, the club was also required to pay court costs and fees, as well as R$ 224,920.46 in attorney’s fees.

It was established that Internacional would pay the amount in seven installments. The first installment, worth R$ 55,720.09, should have been paid in August. Starting with the second installment, the amount would be R$ 216,000. However, the club did not pay those either.

As Internacional remained in default, the club must pay a 10% fine on the outstanding balance. In addition, Inter will also have to pay 20% in attorney’s fees. As a result, the new outstanding balance stands at R$ 1,493,811.46.

With the first two installments of the agreement with midfielder Patrick unpaid, the player’s lawyers requested the freezing of Inter’s assets in case of another default. It is worth noting that Internacional is going through a serious financial crisis and has been hit with two FIFA transfer bans.

Internacional will face Corinthians when the Brasileirão resumes

The club sits in 18th place in the Brazilian Championship with 28 points. Deep in the relegation zone, Internacional returns after the FIFA international break and will face Corinthians in a direct clash in the fight against relegation. The match at Beira-Rio is seen as a high-risk game for both teams.
