Peixe was unable to pay its debt of US$4 million to Krasnodar and is prevented from registering new players for an indefinite period of time.
O Santos received a new transfer ban from FIFA, for not reaching an agreement with the Krasnodar, from Russia. FIFA applied the punishment for non-payment of the amount of U$4 million, referring to the purchase of Christian Cueva.
Peixe would have until the next day to pay off the debt with the European club and avoid the penalty. At the moment, Alvinegro Praiano is prevented from registering new players. The ban notification is already in the hands of the club’s legal department

The biggest difficulty that Santos faced in the negotiation was the reputation of “poor payer” that the last directors left behind. The Russian team was in a hurry to receive the amount and understood that the Brazilians had already delayed long enough.
