Timão was sued by the Argentine club for the second time, the midfielder having been purchased in July last year.
Corinthians risks a lawsuit against FIFA from Argentinos Juniors for the delay in paying one of the installments linked to the purchase of midfielder Fausto Vera. In July last year, Timão acquired 70% of the economic rights of the 23-year-old player, shelling out around R$35 million, as reported in the 2022 budget, in installments. Although the details of the payment schedule have not been confirmed by the parties involved, the Argentine club expresses its dissatisfaction with the Brazilian club’s repeated failures to meet its financial obligations.
The president of Argentinos Juniors, Cristian Malaspina, revealed: “With interest they owe us more than 4 million dollars (R$ 20 million),” in an interview with ge. This is the second late payment by Corinthians this year and at the end of June the Argentine club had already made a late payment worth 750 thousand dollars (around R$3.7 million), which had also generated a complaint by the Argentine club to FIFA.

The current two-month delay in paying the last installment is due to a financial liquidity problem faced by Corinthians. The club was counting on the influx of resources resulting from the sales of Lucas Piton to Vasco and Murillo to Nottingham Forest, in the United Kingdom. However, these amounts were not received as expected. Corinthians is working to regularize payments in the coming weeks.
Although the transfer window is currently closed and is only expected to reopen in January, Corinthians are currently not concerned about the imposition of a transfer ban. However, the club intends to settle the outstanding payments before the transfer market reopens.
