The Corinthians board has deemed it impossible to settle the three transfer bans in place before the transfer window closes on September 11, 2026. The club's financial situation is dire, with two months of image rights payments overdue and outstanding prize money from the Campeonato Brasileiro and Conmebol Libertadores.
The priority for the club is to settle the team's pending issues, which reduces the available funds for other obligations, including the transfer bans. Corinthians has already made seven signings and one renewal during the winter transfer window without paying for the transfers.
The club can still sign and register players who were without a contract before the end of the transfer window. However, it seems unlikely that Corinthians will be able to make any new signings before the window closes.
