According to Globo Esporte, Corinthians has reached an agreement with agent Carlos Leite to resolve legal disputes between the two parties. The club's total debt amounts to nearly 100 million BRL.

In late August, Carlos Leite's lawyers proposed a settlement plan addressing unpaid brokerage fees from Felipe Bastos' transfer in January 2017 and image rights disputes from August 2018.

In this lawsuit, Corinthians was ordered to pay 10.2 million BRL. The club agreed to stop appealing, as its legal defense arguments had already been rejected in another case related to the same dispute. By reaching the settlement, Corinthians will no longer need to pay litigation costs and legal fees.

In exchange, Carlos Leite agreed to include this debt in Corinthians' consolidated enforcement and liquidation mechanism and will not pursue separate enforcement proceedings. This means the agent will receive payment in installments through the RCE alongside hundreds of other creditors of Timão.

The settlement was approved by Judge Miguel Peixeira Júnior of São Paulo's 43rd Civil Court on Friday.

In addition to the agreed 10.2 million BRL, Corinthians must pay Carlos Leite 81.1 million BRL. This debt originated from another settlement reached between the two parties since 2014 and has been included in the club's consolidated enforcement and liquidation mechanism, which also includes two other cases where companies under Leite won favorable rulings in court.

Case 1: RC Consultoria & Assessoria Esportiva LTDA

The initial lawsuit amount was 22.7 million BRL in January 2024 and was updated to 26.5 million BRL after penalties, interest, and corrections. Related debts include: Cassio contract renewal brokerage in August 2014; Wagner recruitment brokerage in January 2015; Ramon Mota transfer to Besiktas brokerage in June 2014; Elias transfer to Sporting CP brokerage in August 2016; Felipe Bastos image rights in March 2017; Mateus Matias image rights in February 2018.

Case 2: B&C Consultoria & Assessoria Esportiva LTDA

The initial lawsuit amount was 33.4 million BRL in January 2024 and was updated to 54.6 million BRL after penalties, interest, and corrections. Related debts include: Cassio contract renewal brokerage in January 2018, January 2019, and January 2022; Wagner contract renewal brokerage in January 2018, January 2019, and January 2022; Camacho recruitment brokerage in January 2018; Camacho contract renewal brokerage in January 2020; Mateus Vital recruitment brokerage in January 2018; Mateus Vital contract renewal brokerage in January 2020; Jonatas recruitment brokerage in February 2018; Mateus Matias recruitment brokerage in July 2018; Gil recruitment brokerage in July 2019; Gil contract renewal brokerage in January 2020; Henato Augusto recruitment brokerage in July 2021.

In November 2023, near the end of former president Duílio Monteiro Alves' tenure, Corinthians agreed to settle outstanding debts with Carlos Leite and some of his partners.

The club later agreed to pay through debt assignment from Brax Produções e Publicidade LTDA, a company that acquired rights to advertising boards at Corinthians' home matches at the Estádio Nilton Santos from 2025 to 2029.

However, Brax refused to sign as a consent party to the debt assignment in the contract between the agent and Corinthians. Carlos Leite stated this was a requirement presented by Augusto Melo, Duílio's successor as president, when finalizing the agreement with the company.

The agent also contacted the club seeking a settlement but received no response, ultimately deciding to pursue the debt through legal proceedings. The related lawsuit was filed in February 2024.

Beyond repeatedly assisting Timão with player transfers, Carlos Leite also loaned money to the club. In the 2008 season, Manager Mano's first season with the team, the agent advanced 600,000 BRL for the recruitment of left-back Wellington Sachi and midfielder Eduardo Ramos. Both players were later represented by Leite.

In 2017, during President Roberto de Andrade's tenure, Leite entered into a loan agreement with Corinthians for 4.1 million BRL. Calculated at a monthly interest rate of 1.94%, this amount more than doubled by the end of 2021, reaching 8.31 million BRL. This debt has now been settled.

Since first owing a debt to Carlos Leite, Timão has had six other presidents: Mario Gobbi, Roberto de Andrade, Andrés Sánchez, Duílio Monteiro Alves, Augusto Melo, and Osmar Stabile.
