Série A club hit with three more transfer bans, taking total to seven

Santos have received three more transfer bans from FIFA, bringing their total to seven. The new sanctions stem from debts related to FIFA's solidarity mechanism, according to ge.

According to the report, one of the debts amounts to US$55,000 (around R$275,000). The other two total €120,000 (approximately R$671,000).

Until these amounts are paid, Santos cannot register new signings. In practice, the club were already banned for up to three transfer windows over a debt owed to former Santos coach Pedro Caixinha.

Last week, the club received four transfer bans over debts to the Portuguese coach and his three assistants, totaling more than R$15 million.

In addition to the seven active transfer bans, another sanction could be on the way, according to ge. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld FIFA's ruling against Santos over a debt of around R$2.2 million owed to Qatar's Al-Markhiya. The decision was published on Monday.

The Gambian striker joined on loan in the second half of 2024, with a deal running until June 2025. He spent four months at the club, did not play a single match and was sent back at the end of that year.
