⚠️ Corinthians hit with transfer ban as FIFA makes it official | OneFootball

Fifa officially imposed a "transfer ban" on Corinthians this Tuesday (12), which means the club is now prohibited from registering new players.

The measure was taken due to a debt of 6.1 million dollars (R$ 33.4 million at the current exchange rate) owed to Santos Laguna for the signing of defender Félix Torres in January of last year.

Corinthians needs to settle this amount by reaching an agreement with the Mexican club.

If they are unsuccessful, Timão will not be able to sign players for three transfer windows, including the current one.

The club only paid the initial installment for Torres' transfer. None of the remaining five installments have been paid, with the first one due in May of last year.

Aware that the punishment was a real possibility, Corinthians rushed to announce attacking midfielder Vitinho last Monday (11).

Free on the market after leaving Saudi club Al-Ettifaq, he was only the second signing made for this season—the first was left-back Angileri.

Ecuadorian Félix Torres, 28, played 52 games last season. He has 25 appearances so far this season, with one goal scored.
