Corinthians gather documents to prove payment to CNRD and lift transfer ban | OneFootball

Corinthians is already working behind the scenes to overturn the transfer ban imposed last Monday, due to a delay in the payment of one of the CNRD (National Chamber of Dispute Resolution) installments. According to information gathered by Gazeta Esportiva, the board is gathering the necessary documentation to get rid of the punishment.

Timão paid the overdue installment on the same day the sanction was imposed. The amount is around R$ 7 million. Now, the club needs to gather all the documents and prove to the CNRD that the payment was made. The body will then analyze the documents to confirm whether Corinthians actually made the payment.

Only after this entire process will the club’s board request the removal of the transfer ban from the CNRD. According to the report’s findings, the expectation is that this will happen in the coming days.

Understand the case

Corinthians delayed a CNRD installment and suffered a national transfer ban. The deadline for the payment expired last Friday.

After the delay was confirmed, Cuiabá announced it would demand action from the CBF, the body that oversees the CNRD. This is because Dourado is one of the main creditors in Timão’s payment plan. The São Paulo club owes a total of about R$ 18 million to the Mato Grosso club for the purchase of Raniele.

Corinthians, on the other hand, believed it had five business days after the deadline to resolve the issue and was surprised by the punishment. With no alternatives, the club paid the overdue installment and now hopes to overturn the transfer ban soon. The sanction prohibits Timão from registering players for six months or until the debt is paid.

FIFA sanction still active

It’s worth remembering that Corinthians already has an active transfer ban for over two months, this one from FIFA. The club has not settled a debt with Santos Laguna, from Mexico, related to the signing of Félix Torres. Thus, the club remains unable to register players.

Corinthians had already delayed payment of a CNRD installment in mid-September, but managed to settle the amount within the grace period established by the CBF.

Timão’s collective payment plan to clubs, players, and agents, approved by the CNRD in April, has a total value of R$ 76 million. The program stipulates that if Corinthians repeatedly delays installments, there is a possibility of suffering a transfer ban for at least six months, without the possibility of suspension of the punishment upon regularization.
