The situation of Corinthians, already complicated in the field, gets even worse behind the scenes with financial and political issues. The club notified Vasco da Gama for not paying 1.5 million euros for Lucas Piton's transfer in 2022. At the time, the total value of the business was EUR 3 million, and part of this amount should be earmarked for the payment of a debt from the Corinthians with an athletic agency.
Since then, the Carioca club has not made the agreed payments, leading the agency to appeal. Recently, President Augusto Melo, in the midst of the crisis that involves his management, decided to collect Vasco's debt, seeking to recover the EUR 1.5 million due.
This measure occurs in a context of turbulence for the Corinthians, which adds only one victory in the last 10 Brazilian Championship games and faces criticism from both the fans and the press. Timão's next challenge will be against Athletico-PR, where he will seek to regain his performance.
Repercussion among Twisters
Corinthian fans believe that the collection should have been made earlier, since the debt has already dragged on for two years. The delay in action only increased dissatisfaction with the current administration.
