Internacional continues in all ways to try not to pay the debt it has with Flamengo in the purchase of Thiago Maia. This time, the team from Rio Grande do Sul appealed, however, their request was denied by the National Chamber of Dispute Resolution (CNRD).
At the moment, Internacional is running out of major alternatives to settle and 'get rid' of the debt with Flamengo. The team from Rio Grande do Sul is already aware that it will be executed. Therefore, the club still has the possibility to appeal to the Arbitration Chamber. However, the process is expensive and usually does not have much effect on decisions.
On the other hand, Flamengo understands that Internacional wants to buy time with these internal movements. The Rubro-Negro believes that the team from Rio Grande do Sul may try the 'last card' asking for the debts to be paid in installments. The information is from journalist Venê Casagrande.
