The reported compensation reaches around $5 million. Despite Alves previously winning an appeal, this time the CAS ruled in favor of Pumas.
"CAS has ruled in favor of the club, overturning the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber's decision of May 15, 2024, and issuing a new decision that, in addition to confirming the legality of the contract termination for just cause by the club, obliges Mr. Alves to pay an amount exceeding that set by FIFA as compensation for damages and losses caused to the organization," the club said.
