Santos may face a new transfer ban due to three outstanding debts, amounting to nearly R$ 30 million.
The most significant claim comes from Portuguese coach Pedro Caixinha and his team, who are seeking R$ 15 million in total as a termination fee, following a FIFA ruling in September 2025. Caixinha was let go in April of the previous year.

Additionally, the club lost its FIFA case involving the acquisition of Jean Lucas from Monaco and now owes €2 million (around R$ 12.1 million) for the final installment of that deal.
Another situation concerns Yusupha Njié: Santos failed to pay the loan fee to Qatar’s Al-Markhiya, for which they owe €400,000 (around R$ 2.4 million). Notably, the striker did not even feature during his time at Peixe.
The club has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in some instances, yet it could still face penalties if the debts remain unpaid.
