Last Thursday, shortly after qualifying for the final of the Campeonato Paulista, president Marcelo Teixeira explained that he intends to pay the debt and demonstrated empathy with the Russians. It is worth mentioning that, under Andres Rueda’s management, Santos made an agreement with Krasnodar for an installment plan, but defaulted on the installments.

– There is a lot of wear and tear and that is understandable. If I were on the other side, perhaps, I would be acting the same way. He ended up having a transfer ban. When the transfer ban arrives, the club just wants the other, who is the debtor, to fulfill their part. There is no alternative.

Until Peixe pays the amount due, FIFA will prevent the club from registering any new player. In practice, this means that coach Fábio Carille can only count on reinforcements from the youth teams – which harms the planning for the Brasileirão Series B dispute, scheduled to start in April.
