The left-back Felipe Jonatan, currently on loan to Mirassol, has filed a lawsuit against Fortaleza. According to information from Diário O Povo, he is seeking the termination of his contract, which is valid until April 2027. The player claims delays in payments.
Felipe Jonatan's defense details the club's debts, which include two months' salary, the full 13th salary, proportional vacation pay, December's FGTS, and a 40% fine on the Severance Indemnity Fund. There are also delays in signing bonuses, according to the defense. The total amount of the lawsuit is R$ 5.3 million.
The player is also seeking compensation for moral harassment in the amount of R$ 180,000. He contests the fact that he was removed from Fortaleza's squad, without the possibility of training alongside his teammates.
In addition to Felipe Jonatan, Bruno Pacheco is also seeking contract termination with Fortaleza in court. Both are represented by the same lawyer. The duo claims they sought an “amicable settlement” with the club but were unsuccessful.
