Corinthians President Osmar Stabile has reached a preliminary agreement with the group ‘SAFiel’ to pursue the creation of a Football Corporation (SAF). This agreement is contingent upon ‘SAFiel’ providing the funds required to settle the club’s debt concerning the Neo Química Arena.

Following this initial understanding, SAFiel submitted a formal proposal to the club’s board. The proposal outlines a commitment to structure the financial means to address the approximately R$ 642 million debt owed to Caixa Econômica Federal. Rather than an immediate cash injection, the group intends to use legal and market advisors to manage debt assumption or restructuring. 

To advance the transition, SAFiel has requested an urgent meeting with club leadership to obtain authorization for direct negotiations with the bank and has requested access to the club’s financial, contractual, and fiscal information.
