Santos faces potential transfer ban due to outstanding debts
Summary

Santos may face a transfer ban over three debts totaling R$29 million, which include claims from coach Pedro Caixinha and his staff for R$15 million related to a termination penalty following a FIFA ruling in September 2025. The club is also reportedly liable for R$12.1 million owed to Monaco for the signing of Jean Lucas and R$2.4 million for Yusupha Njié’s loan fee to Al-Markhiya. Santos has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding some cases, but failure to settle these debts could result in regulatory penalties. The situation remains ongoing as the club explores its legal options.
