Find out what Hugo Souza’s position is like at Corinthians

oh Corinthians wants to buy goalkeeper Hugo Souza, but the job is far from done. At least in perspective Flemish. After the goalless draw sent by the Rio team in the final of the Copa do Brasil this Sunday, 20th, at Neo Química Arena, Flamengo vice president Marcos Braz clarified the situation.

– First, another R $ 500,000. That is the explanation, in addition to R $ 500,000, with a total of R $ 1.5 million that they must pay – said Braz, regarding the fine that Corinthians must pay. ​to use Hugo Souza against Flamengo, who was specified in the goalkeeper’s loan contract with Timão. Since they could not finalize the negotiation until this Friday, Timão will have to pay the fine for using the goalkeeper.

On Thursday last week, Corinthians contacted Flamengo and told the Rio club that they want to use their option to buy goalkeeper Hugo Souza.

The definitive purchase will cost 800 thousand euros (around 5 million) for the club’s coffers – for 50% of the economic rights. And Hugo’s new contract with Corinthians would come into effect from January 2025. In the purchase agreement, payment will be made in four installments (January and June of the years 2025 and 2026).

– Regarding the purchase, so far they have not presented the documents that make us certain about the purchase of the athlete and we wait for this with good peace of mind. When this happens, Flamengo will still have 40% of the athlete. It is important that you have a good situation with a player here at Corinthians, because he is a player who will naturally gain value here. Now, we need this first step to be implemented definitively. Until it is implemented, it will remain as it is. I even wanted to organize a friendly match to earn another R$ 500,000 – I joked with the red-black leader.

It was expected that the São Paulo club would be able to buy the archer on the 1st of this month, but the definitive purchase option could only be made from October 10.
