Tottenham Hotspur have now completed the process that was blocking attempts to lift Santos’ transfer ban.

After several days of waiting for vital documents surrounding Souza’s £12.8m (€15m) north London transfer, Santos have officially settled their outstanding loan with FC Arauca. Bolavip In Brazil.

The Brazilian club paid €2.5m (£2.1m) to settle an issue over the transfer of defender Joao Basso. As a result, FIFA would remove Santos from its sanction list and the club could once again register players.

Christian Oliva, their newly signed midfielder who was unable to play due to a ban, is now expected to be registered immediately.

delay to resolution

Earlier this week, We covered Brazilian reports Adding that Santos was waiting for a formal document from Tottenham before finalizing the payment to Arauca. That delay effectively kept the transfer ban in place. Now the matter has been resolved.

Although the exact administration timeline has not been publicly detailed, the key point is that the funds associated with the Tottenham deal have now been used to unlock the position.

Interestingly, this came after Santos had structured an international banking operation to bring forward their share of the Souza fee, using Spurs’ financial credibility as the backbone of the arrangement. The club was expected to receive approximately £13.7m (€16.2m) from the deal.

So the recent blockage appeared to be procedural rather than structural. The payment has now been made.

What does it mean beyond the ban

The immediate benefits are obvious. Santos can register new signings and continue squad planning without any restrictions. However, it has wider implications financial breathing space.

Tottenham’s money simply does not solve the €2.5m (£2.1m) debt. It also strengthens Santos’ short-term liquidity during the delicate restructuring phase. The club’s total debt remains significant, and cash flow management is important.

In practical terms, Spurs’ transfer fee has helped Santos stabilize operations and maintain momentum in the market.

For Tottenham, this concludes a small but closely watched side story. For Santos, it restores flexibility — and gives him room to use remaining funds strategically rather than fire restrictions. Meanwhile, Souza is still waiting for his Spurs debut.

Nottingham Forest could make new money for Corinthians this summer, with the Brazilian side entitled to 10% of any profits from the eventual sale of Murillo.

brazilian outlet IG Reports have been released from the English press claiming that Chelsea and Liverpool are showing strong interest in the 23-year-old centre-back ahead of the upcoming window. Forest are said to value the defender at around €57.5m (£49m).

That figure has naturally caught Brazil’s attention. Murillo joins Forest in 2023 for €14m (£12m) plus €2m (£1.7m) in potential bonuses. As part of that agreement, Corinthians secured 10% of the profits from any future transfers. They are also entitled to solidarity payments as is his training club.

How much could the Corinthians have received?

If Forest are sold for €57.5m (£49m), the profit on the fixed fee of €14m (£12m) would be €43.5m (£37m). Ten per cent of that sum would give Corinthians approximately €4.35m (£3.7m), before adding solidarity payments.

For a Brazilian club that regularly looks to the transfer market to strengthen its finances, this is a worthwhile potential windfall. Not surprisingly, every new link to Murillo is closely monitored.

emotional connection will remain strong

There is also an emotional layer to the story. Murillo has said this before He is a Corinthians supporter And would love to come back to the club one day. This admission only strengthens the bond between the player and the former party.

Although a return is not on the agenda right now, any high-value move to Europe would indirectly benefit the Brazilian outfit first and foremost. In practical terms, Corinthians may benefit financially before dreaming of seeing him back in his shirt.

Interest beyond England

We have already informed about this AC Milan And Bayern Munich Was recently associated with Defender. That widespread European attention adds even more intrigue.

However, there is no apparent pressure to sell the forest. Murillo is under contract and has become a key defensive figure since his arrival.

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea or Liverpool formalize their interest. If a deal materializes at the reported valuation, Corinthians will be keeping a close eye. A significant transfer to England could quickly translate into new income in Brazil.
