Palmeiras take Fortaleza to CNRD over debt for academy graduate | OneFootball

Developed in Palmeiras’ youth academy, center-back Gustavo Mancha was sold by Fortaleza to Olympiacos of Greece for R$ 28.3 million. Alviverde will receive around R$ 8.4 million for the 30% of the player’s rights it still owned.

Palmeiras takes action against Fortaleza

NOSSO PALESTRA has learned that Verdão filed a claim against the club from Ceará in recent days with the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) over the non-payment of an installment worth 225,000 euros (around R$ 1.4 million), which should have been transferred in November 2025.

Palmeiras notified Fortaleza in December 2025 over the missed payment and extended the deadline for a resolution by 40 days. It later sent a proposal for payment in installments, but received no response.

Tricolor had paid the first 825,000 euros with a one-month delay and, besides the 225,000-euro debt that Verdão took to the CNRD, another 300,000 euros from the total transfer fee remain unpaid.

Palmeiras is also still awaiting the transfer of the first installment from the deal involving forward Breno Lopes, who was sold from Fortaleza to Coritiba. The scorer of Verdão’s 2020 Copa Libertadores-winning goal was sold for R$ 15 million, and Alviverde is entitled to 50% of the amount.
