São Paulo settle Bobadilla debt, removed from Fifa transfer ban list | OneFootball

São Paulo is now free to make new signings. Just a few hours after being handed a transfer ban by FIFA, the board of president Julio Casares paid off the club's debt to Cerro Porteño for the acquisition of Damian Bobadilla, and the Tricolor is no longer subject to the prohibition by the highest governing body of football.

On Monday morning, São Paulo fans were surprised to see the club on FIFA's list of teams banned from signing players for three transfer windows.

Quick Resolution

Faced with the pending issue with Cerro Porteño, São Paulo's board quickly sought to resolve the problem. The club's legal professionals negotiated a new payment with the Paraguayan team, and the situation was resolved.

Having been freed from FIFA's transfer ban, São Paulo is now expected to enter the market. With the serious ligament injury suffered by André Silva, Hernán Crespo's team may look to sign a new striker for the squad.

With 32 points from 21 games, São Paulo occupies seventh place in the Brazilian Championship. The team's next commitment in the competition is this Saturday (30), when they will visit Cruzeiro at 9 PM (Brasília time) for the 22nd round.
