The Corinthians are facing a severe financial crisis, with three active transfer bans (two imposed by FIFA and one by CBF), a month's worth of unpaid image rights to the players, and delayed vacation and prize payments. The club's financial deficit in the first four months of the year is due to the absence of money from the transfer of image rights.
Globo Esporte Futebol reports that the club's financial situation is precarious, with a projected income of R$ 806 million for this year, without any player sales. The president Osmar Stabile had previously stated that he expected to raise 25 million euros (R$ 150,68 million at the current rate) with the sale of players in 2026.
The club's financial team is studying the possibility of using a clause in the statutes to anticipate up to 30% of the 2027 income, which would be used to pay off debts and establish a cash flow in the coming months. This move is seen as a viable alternative to address the club's financial crisis.
The Corinthians will hold their presidential election in November this year, and the current president Osmar Stabile is expected to be supported in this decision. The club's financial team will present the 2027 budget, which will serve as the basis for the anticipated income.
