Sport court delays midfielder’s case against Corinthians by a month | OneFootball

While still fighting to overturn the transfer ban imposed by FIFA in the case involving defender Félix Torres and Santos Laguna-MEX, Corinthians saw another case at the entity have its decision postponed. This is because the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has delayed by one month the decision regarding the case involving Paraguayan midfielder Matías Rojas and Alvinegro, originally scheduled for this Friday, 29th.

Timão had already been condemned by FIFA to pay R$ 40 million to the player, but appealed the sentence. In the action, the midfielder claimed delay in the payment of image rights, asking for compensation corresponding to what he still had to receive until the end of his contract with Corinthians, until July 30, 2027. Rojas was hired by Corinthians in July 2023 and left the club eight months later.

Indirectly, the postponement benefits Corinthians, which still sees remote chances of making an agreement with Santos Laguna to pay the R$ 40 million owed for the purchase of Torres in installments, with a large percentage paid upfront. The Alvinegra board contacted FIFA seeking mediation and tries to solve the case before the end of the national transfer window, this Tuesday, 2nd.

If successful, the trend is that Corinthians will formalize the signing of some reinforcements - the club intends to sign at least two of four names with which it maintains advanced talks, one of them being the Uruguayan forward Agustin Anello, from Boston River-URU. A possible new conviction at FIFA would make these negotiations unfeasible, as the club would not be able to afford the payment of the two debts.

It is worth remembering, finally, that Corinthians still has two other cases awaiting judgment at CAS: one regarding US$ 4.3 million (about R$ 23.35 million) owed to Talleres-ARG for the signing of Rodrigo Garro, and another of 1.075 million euros (about R$ 6.76 million) due to Shakhtar Donetsk-UCR for the loan of Maycon.
