Can Thiago Maia play against Flamengo today? | OneFootball

Flamengo and Internacional face off this Wednesday (13), for the Libertadores

Internacional has not yet paid Flamengo for the purchase of Thiago Maia, made in the 2024 season. For this reason, the fan of the Most Beloved wonders: can the midfielder play this Wednesday (13), against the Rubro-Negro, for the Libertadores?

The answer is yes, Thiago Maia can play for Internacional this Wednesday (13), against Flamengo. This is because, despite the team from Rio Grande do Sul not having paid the 4 million euros (R$ 23 million) to the Most Beloved, the midfielder is a player of the team from Rio Grande do Sul. Therefore, there is no prohibition that prevents the athlete from taking the field.

What has Flamengo already done to get Internacional to pay for the signing of Thiago Maia?

After so much time without receiving, Flamengo sought the National Dispute Resolution Commission (CNRD) of the CBF to receive the amount. However, nothing has been done so far, and Internacional continues without paying the Most Beloved.

Did Flamengo release a note outraged with Internacional?

Yes! Flamengo did not like it when Internacional secured the signing of Alan Rodríguez. The movement of the team from Rio Grande do Sul in the market outraged the Most Beloved, who released an official note condemning the negotiation.

"Clube de Regatas do Flamengo regrets that Sport Club Internacional continues to fail to meet financial commitments made with this institution, while publicly announcing the signing of new athletes, such as Alan Rodríguez, announced today. According to articles published in the press, the club committed to pay 4 million dollars.

"In November 2024, Flamengo formalized, with the National Dispute Resolution Commission (CNRD) of the CBF, a charge related to the acquisition of the athlete Thiago Maia. Internacional failed to fully pay the five installments provided, all already due, in the total amount of 1.25 million euros. Even so, even without any new fact that justified the postponement, the sentence was postponed and is only expected for September 6.

Flamengo considers it unacceptable to repeat this scenario and expects that CBF, through its competent bodies, act firmly and coherently in the face of a case that directly violates the principles of Financial Fair Play that the entity itself decided to embrace recently.

It is urgent that CBF use the regulatory instruments already existing to ensure that pending cases at CNRD are agile and that compliant clubs are not harmed by those who repeatedly ignore their obligations".
