Talleres president: Progress in Garro transfer debt talks with Corinthians | OneFootball

Corinthians and Talleres, from Argentina, are close to ending the dispute involving the transfer of midfielder Rodrigo Garro. The expectation is that, in the coming days, the clubs will reach an agreement to settle the debt, which currently amounts to around R$ 23.35 million, including interest. This would prevent the São Paulo team from facing a new transfer ban.

In contact with ge.globo, Talleres president Andrés Fassi confirmed that negotiations have advanced and indicated that a solution is near. According to him, the approach of the current Corinthians management, led by Osmar Stabile, has facilitated the dialogue.

“Just a little more! We hope everything can be signed soon and a solution is found. When, in football, there are leaders and clubs with integrity, with values, we must help each other,” said the Argentine club's president.

“Talleres and Corinthians are about to resolve a long-standing conflict. Excellent relationship with Corinthians, exploring all avenues to find a solution. Both clubs are striving to do their part to reach an agreement”, he added.

Corinthians president Osmar Stabile recently visited Argentina to address the matter directly. During the visit, he met with Fassi and presented a proposal that included upfront payment with a reduction of the total amount. Other settlement alternatives were also discussed.

The impasse between the clubs began at the start of the negotiation involving Garro. Talleres claimed the right to receive US$ 612,000 related to operational costs and taxes linked to the transfer. Corinthians, however, disagreed with taking on this additional amount. The disagreement delayed the regularization of the Argentine midfielder at the beginning of 2024.

Initially, Corinthians paid US$ 4 million for the signing. Subsequently, the Argentine club approached FIFA demanding about US$ 3 million related to outstanding agreement installments.

After reviewing the case, the football governing body determined that the Brazilian club should pay US$ 3,612,000 (approximately R$ 19.46 million), with an annual interest of 18%, plus a fine of US$ 722,400 (around R$ 3.89 million).
