Corinthians face one of the most delicate phases of recent years. In addition to the sequence of negative results in the Brazilian championship, the club was penalized by FIFA with a ban on transfer that prevents him from recording new athletes for the next three transfer windows.
The sanction is directly linked to a debt of $ 34 million with Santos Laguna, Mexico, for taking the defender Félix Torres. Previously, the club had already been sentenced to pay around $ 55 million, also referring to the negotiations of Torres and the midfielder Rodrigo Garro. The appeal submitted to the Sport (Cas) arbitration court was rejected, keeping the punishment active.

Although the club can reverse the measure if it makes a payment or agreement with the creditor, Corinthians’ financial situation makes immediate resolution unlikely. After all, the general debt of the club exceeds $ 2 billion, which seriously limits its investment capacity.
In the meantime, the sports environment is also unstable. In the last round of Brazilirão, the team was defeated by the young 2-1, away from home. The result expanded the series without victories for five games, with three draws and two losses, leaving the Corinthians with 22 points, in 13th place in the table.
This negative phase illuminated the warning sign between specialized journalists. The commentator Ana Thaís Matos was emphatic in evaluating the scenario: “The struggle (relegation) began today”. The declaration was published on social networks shortly after the setback in Caxias do Sul.
Former player Walter Casagrande shares the same concern. During participation in a sports program, he said: “Corinzi is an average team. This must be very clear. […] Perhaps it should have more attention to these games against young people. “Casagrande also stressed that the team presents itself differently only in the Knockout duels, such as recent clashes against Palmeiras in the Brazilian Cup.
To worsen things, the coach Dorival Júnior will have an important undue appropriation in the next commitment. Saturday (16), at 21h (time of Brasilia), the team receives Bahia at the new Chemistry Arena, not to mention Cacá, Angileri and Romero, all suspended, as well as Depay and Carrillo, who are still recovering from injuries.
In fact, the last official assumption before the sanction, the striker Vitinho, was appointed in the daily newsletter (IDB) before the restriction entered into force. Therefore, it can normally be used by the technical staff, although it is one of the few news available in the cast.
