Náutico is facing internal challenges regarding player contracts and financial stability. President Bruno Becker confirmed the club exercised its right to purchase midfielder Dodô for R$ 800,000, despite the player's desire to leave. Becker also affirmed that the coaching staff, including head coach Hélio and assistant Guilherme dos Anjos, would remain in place despite ongoing salary arrears for players and staff.

Following these developments, coach Hélio dos Anjos addressed the club’s financial difficulties, noting that his own salary is among the most overdue payments. He reported outstanding debts consisting of one month of formal salary and one month of image rights. Dos Anjos expressed confidence in President Becker’s leadership and noted that the club is receiving support from the Pernambuco Football Federation and former president Paulo Wanderley to manage the crisis.
