Treze players threaten pre-season no-show over unpaid wages

Nine Treze players who renewed their contracts are demanding unpaid July and August salaries, housing allowances and promised bonuses, and say they will not report for pre-season starting 28 September unless paid by 25 September.

What it means

• Unpaid: July and August wages, housing allowances and promised bonuses; two payment deadlines already missed
• Players involved include goalkeeper Erivelton, defenders John Lessa, Matheus Barbosa, Carlos Henrique, Luan Freire, midfielders Marquinhos, Geovane Mário and forwards Dioran, Buba
• Club blames a 25 August court ruling that froze SPE management acts and blocked a planned cash injection; pre-season was due to start Monday 28 September

Model read

A concrete squad revolt over months of unpaid wages leaves Treze's pre-season in doubt and could cost them several regulars for the start of the Paraibano and Série D campaign — a notable destabilising factor.
