Internacional receives third FIFA transfer ban

Sport club Internacional has been issued a third transfer ban by FIFA due to unpaid debts related to the acquisition of player Benjamin from the Ghanaian club Dansoman Wise. The dispute involves several overdue installments from a deal originally structured to pay 140,000 euros for 50 percent of the player's economic rights.

According to reports, the club has only paid the first of eight scheduled installments. The current debt is estimated at approximately 70,000 euros, though total outstanding amounts across various periods have been cited differently by local sources.

This marks the third active transfer ban for the Brazilian club. The other two sanctions stem from previous player acquisitions: a debt to Midtjylland in Denmark regarding the player Juninho, and a debt to Olympiacos in Greece regarding the player Ramon. Under these penalties, Internacional is prohibited from registering new players for the next three transfer windows or until the debts are settled.
