Santos will have to pay 1 million dollars for Zé Ivaldo, with the first installment due in January. According to ge, the payment will be made in four installments.

Zé Ivaldo, on loan at Santos from Cruzeiro until the end of the year, will be purchased permanently by the São Paulo club. The transfer became mandatory after the defender met a clause in his loan agreement by playing in 60% of the matches for which he was available. He reportedly reached this target after starting in the last three Brasileirão games, following a season where his playing time had fluctuated. To sign the player, Santos will have to pay a fee of 1 million dollars, equivalent to about R$ 5.3 million. The information was initially reported by 'Central da Toca', and ESPN later confirmed that the contractual obligation had been fulfilled.
