Due to non-payment of various transfers, Santos could once again suffer punishment from FIFA
The debts do not stop and the non-payments do not stop, since Santos still owes money in all the cases already mentioned. The largest case would be that of Jean Lucas, bought by Bahía, since Peixe still owes Monaco around 21.4 million reais for his services, however, that debt will be financed with the money received by Bahía.
In the case of Soteldo, there is talk of a debt that would reach 14.5 million reais.
In total, from globo esporte they assure that, according to the balance sheet published by the club in 2023, Peixe would have to pay close to 100 million reais in debts in the next 12 months, but counting interest and non-current liabilities of the debt , this could reach 143 million reais.
This puts Santos in a very delicate situation for the near future, since the constant threat of receiving a new punishment from FIFA in the form of a transfer ban , which would be the third of the year, is very latent and could still come. more sanctions if the club does not start paying its debts on time.
