Samir Carvalho

Corinthians is in talks with state bank Caixa over the debt on its Arena. President Augusto Melo's administration, with figures like Samir Carvalho involved, has proposed a value to settle the debt and is seeking a ten-year naming rights deal with Caixa plus the release of millions in funds. The club will not pay the Arena debt until negotiations conclude, and Safiel has voiced concern over the club's finances.
