Palmeiras Defaults on Deals and Plans Lawsuit Against Fortaleza in CNRD

Palmeiras will take action against Fortaleza at the CBF’s CNRD (National Dispute Resolution Chamber) after defaulting on negotiations involving two players.

What happened

Fortaleza owes a portion of 225 thousand euros (R$ 1.3 million) to Palmeiras arising from the sale of defender Gustavo Mancha to Olympiacos, from Greece. The defender left Alviverde to play for Leão do Pici in 2024, but continued with 30% of his economic rights linked to the São Paulo club.

Fortaleza sold Gustavo Mancha to Olympiacos for 4.5 million euros (R$27.6 million) in August last year. Of this amount, Palmeiras is entitled to R$8.3 million, which is paid in installments by the Ceará club.
