The club has accumulated two months of unpaid image rights, with each month costing around R$ 10 million. Corinthians still owes prize money from the Campeonato Brasileiro and Conmebol Libertadores to its players. The club's management plans to pay at least one of the overdue image rights payments on Monday.
Corinthians is facing a severe financial crisis, struggling to honour its daily commitments and is prohibited from registering new players due to three transfer bans in place, totalling R$ 21.5 million in debt. The club's salary for August was initially delayed, but the management paid the wages a few days later.
The unpaid image rights are a significant portion of a player's remuneration, and this development highlights the club's ongoing financial difficulties.
