According to the letter, players have been waiting for up to four months for their image rights to be paid, and two months for their salaries. Some players from the 2024 and 2025 seasons had agreed to delay payments, but the club has failed to honour these agreements. The players have stated that they want to train, play and defend the América-MG team. They have given the club a deadline to come up with a concrete plan to pay the outstanding wages and image rights, and have threatened to take further action if this is not done. The players have promised to return to training on Friday, with their next match scheduled for next Tuesday against Juventude.
