Corinthians still owe women’s squad image rights, another delay | OneFootball

Corinthians has once again run into problems meeting payments to the women’s squad. The players still have not received the amounts related to image rights for the month of July, which were due last July 15. According to Meu Timão, the club was contacted to clarify the situation and said that, so far, there is no set forecast for when the payments will be brought up to date.

This is the third straight month in which Corinthians has gone past the deadline set for transferring image rights payments to the players. In previous months, the issue also occurred: the May amounts were paid 14 days late, while the June amounts were only paid 22 days after the stipulated date.

The new delay comes amid the club’s financial situation. Corinthians has an estimated gross debt of R$ 2.7 billion and recently became subject to three sanctions preventing the registration of new players, two imposed by FIFA and one by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The restrictions, however, do not affect women’s football, which remains authorized to register players normally.

Despite that possibility, the trend is that Corinthians will not make any moves in the market at this time. According to Meu Timão, the board intends to direct the funds obtained through the partnership signed with Fatal Fans toward settling outstanding financial commitments before investing in the arrival of new reinforcements for the squad.

While the administrative situation remains unresolved, the squad led by Emily Lima continues preparing for the rest of the season. The Brabas are competing simultaneously in the Brazilian Championship, the Paulista Championship, and the Copa do Brasil, and return to the field this Wednesday (29) at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), when they face Palmeiras at Arena Barueri in the fifth round of the state competition.
