São Paulo’s transfer ban lifted by FIFA after settling outstanding debt | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Monday, FIFA lifted the transfer ban from São Paulo five days after the sanction. The name of the São Paulo club is no longer on the list of clubs punished by the entity.

São Paulo was prohibited from registering new signings during the period, but has already settled the debt and is now free to pursue reinforcements again. The Tricolor had a debt with the agents who mediated the return of striker Calleri in 2021.

On the São Paulo side, the claim was that there was a disagreement over the amount charged by Calleri's agent, and therefore the management waited for FIFA's decision, responsible for the mediation. After the punishment, the top management of Tricolor made the payment of the outstanding amount.

This was the second transfer ban suffered by São Paulo this season. Previously, in August this year, the Tricolor had already been punished for a debt with Cerro Porteño, from Paraguay, regarding the signing of midfielder Damián Bobadilla.

Therefore, São Paulo has seen its second transfer ban lifted and can register new players normally. The Tricolor management has a clear path to seek new reinforcements in the transfer window, which will open in January next year.
