Part 5/7:
Financially, the state of Corinthians has seemingly worsened under Melo. The debt has ballooned from approximately 2 billion to an estimated 2.4 billion reais, with final numbers expected to surface in the club's financial report scheduled for April. This growing fiscal burden points towards insufficient financial restructuring and ongoing reliance on borrowed resources, straying far from promises of fiscal health and stable investment strategies.
The Road Ahead
As 2024 approaches, attention turns to whether Melo can regain lost trust within the squad and among the fanbase. With the impending task of navigating the Libertadores preliminary rounds on February 19, expectations run high for positive results.
