Pumas originally sought compensation of $5m (and an additional $1m-plus for image rights purchased) through a clause in his contract that noted the consequence of a premature termination in the signed agreement without just cause. CAS' recent decision highlighted that the clause "simply does not pass the fundamental 'test' of proportionality between the penalty and the potential damage caused," thereby leading to the decision of a compensation from Alves to Pumas for $2.2m.

"I'm here eager to give my all, to push myself, and to be on the pitch playing at my best. I have the mentality to make history, to be able to win a title. I believe we can achieve those goals by working with humility."
