Corinthians hit with new FIFA penalty over R$6 million debt to Danish club | OneFootball

The Corinthians suffered another condemnation by FIFA. This time, the highest entity in football has determined that the club must pay a debt of 1 million euros (R$ 6.2 million at the current exchange rate) to Midtjylland, from Denmark, for the acquisition of midfielder Charles.

The signing was made in July of last year, during the administration of Augusto Melo. The values were around 1.6 million euros.

Timão paid the first two installments of the agreement, both estimated at 400,000 euros, but did not deposit the third one, of 800,000 euros, which should have been paid by March 15, 2025. Without receiving payment, in May, the Danes opened a case with FIFA, which condemned Corinthians to pay the amount and also added 200,000 euros in interest.

The information was initially published by Meu Timão and confirmed by the Gazeta Esportiva. The report also found that the black and white club appealed the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which should take a few months to analyze the case. If the body reinforces FIFA's condemnation, Corinthians could suffer a new transfer ban.

Sixth condemnation by FIFA

This is nothing more than the sixth condemnation of Corinthians by FIFA. Two of them have already received the confirmation of the CAS, the last instance of judgment in sports disputes. A pending debt of R$ 40 million with Santos Laguna for Félix Torres, even resulted in a transfer ban that has been in effect for over a month.

The club was also condemned to pay R$ 45 million to midfielder Matías Rojas. In this case, however, Timão is negotiating an agreement with the Paraguayan's staff.

In addition to the cases of Félix and Rojas, whose decisions have already been made, and that of Charles, which will now be analyzed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, there are three other processes underway. They are:
