The Avaí club's financial struggles have led to a significant loss of players, with three players leaving the club in January due to financial reasons. According to Pedro Costa, the club's director of football, the club "iniciou o trio de ataque dele em janeiro e perde em janeiro por questões financeiras." The club was unable to pay for player loans, and as a result, lost three key players.
The club's financial struggles have been well-documented, with the president Bernardo Pessi stating that the club had "praticamente todas as receitas do clube comprometidas, sem a perspectiva de receber qualquer recurso financeiro." The club's lack of financial resources has made it difficult to compete in the market, with Costa stating that "o principal componente de fazer um bom mercado nós não tínhamos: o recurso."
The Avaí club's financial woes have had a significant impact on the team's performance, with Costa stating that "o Avaí perdeu três contratações na janela do meio do ano por falta do recurso de imediato. Prejudica muito a nossa atuação." The club's future remains uncertain, with the need for a "mudança radical" to avoid a "fim de ano trágico."
