Serie B club president points to giants' debt after transfer ban Currently 12th in Brazil’s Série B, Cuiabá is barred from registering new players. The club was hit with a FIFA transfer ban over a R$ 4 million debt to Portuguese coach Petit, who managed the team in 2024. And according to Cuiabá president Cristiano Dresch, the amount in question would not be a problem if Dourado had received the roughly R$ 42 million that at least four Série A clubs owe the team. " Cuiabá would not have reached this situation if it weren’t for the defaults we suffered from Corinthians, Santos, Grêmio and Atlético-MG. How can a club that is owed R$ 42 million go through this situation? I’ll find a way to pay ," he told ge. The amount in question would include the following debts: R$ 18 million from Corinthians for the signing of Raniele in 2024 R$ 18 million from Santos for the signing of Joaquim in 2023 R$ 841,905.96 from Grêmio for the signing of Pepê in 2023 Galo reached an agreement with Cuiabá to settle a R$ 5.25 million debt for the signing of Deyverson in 2024. But that amount has still reportedly not been paid in full. Petit managed Cuiabá for 25 matches, with eight wins, eight draws and nine losses, leaving the club in August 2024. Dourado finished that year’s Brasileirão relegated in 20th and last place. And it was only 10th in last year’s Série B.
