Corinthians lose CAS case over debt to Shakhtar for Maycon | OneFootball

Corinthians were ordered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to pay their debt to Shakhtar Donetsk related to the consecutive renewals of midfielder Maycon’s loan.

Timão reportedly failed to meet its financial commitments to Shakhtar and was ordered to pay R$ 7.2 million to the Ukrainian club over the player’s signing. Maycon now plays for Atlético-MG.

The information was first reported by ge and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

The R$ 7.2 million mainly refers to Maycon’s consecutive loan spells at Corinthians. The midfielder joined the black-and-white club in 2022 and stayed until December of last year. With his contract at Shakhtar coming to an end, he chose to move to Galo.

The amount also includes a fine, in addition to annual interest of 10% on the overdue sums, counted from 2023 onward.

The decision was made by the body on March 10. As a result, Corinthians’ board has 45 calendar days from that date to settle the debt with Shakhtar. If it fails to do so, Timão risks being hit with another transfer ban.

Corinthians had already been ordered by FIFA to pay the debt to the Ukrainian club, but appealed the decision to CAS, considered the final instance, in June of last year.

Maycon’s numbers for Corinthians

Maycon came through at Corinthians and has had two spells with the black-and-white club. Altogether, wearing the Timão shirt, he made 245 appearances, with 18 goals and 13 assists, as well as five titles: the Paulista championships in 2017, 2018 and 2025, the 2028 Brasileirão, and the 2025 Copa do Brasil.
