Flamengo loaned goalkeeper Hugo Souza to Corinthians until the end of this year. As part of the agreement, a clause was stipulated that requires the payment of a fine of R$500,000 if the São Paulo team wants to use the player in matches against Rubro-Negro.
Last Thursday (29), Itaquera's team made the payment to Flamengo to guarantee the presence of the archer in the clash this Sunday (1st), in a match valid for the Brasileirão, which will take place at Neo Química Arena.
CLAUSE WITH OPTION TO PURCHASE
In addition to the fine, the loan contract includes a clause that allows Corinthians to acquire Hugo Souza permanently at the end of the year. To do this, the São Paulo club will have to pay 800 thousand euros (approximately R$4.7 million). The expectation is that, due to the goalkeeper's good performances, Corinthians will complete the purchase at the end of the season.
Hugo Souza returned to Flamengo in the middle of the year after a spell in Portugal. Although the Rio club considered the possibility of keeping the player in the squad for the remainder of the season, interest from other clubs, including Santos and Corinthians, led to the decision to negotiate him on loan. However, only Corinthians formalized a proposal, resulting in the signing of the goalkeeper, who has stood out in the São Paulo team.
NEXT STEPS FOR HUGO SOUZA< /b>
With the possibility of being permanently acquired by Corinthians, Hugo Souza is experiencing a moment of career advancement. The goalkeeper's continuity at the São Paulo club will depend on his performance in the next games and negotiations between the teams at the end of the year. For now, Hugo is confirmed for the decisive clash between Corinthians and Flamengo, which promises strong emotions for fans of both clubs.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.

Up front, Bruno Henrique is recovered and available to play, expanding coach Filipe Luís's offensive options. Plata and Luiz Araújo are also options at wing. Léo Ortiz returns to the defensive system after missing the match against Juventude.
A possible Flamengo lineup for Thursday has: Rossi; Emerson Royal (or Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (or Viña); Allan (or De La Cruz), Saúl and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro (or Bruno Henrique) and Samuel Lino.
According to information gathered, the club's coaching staff is likely to opt for midfielder Jorginho, who is recovering from a muscle edema. Although he is fit to play, the club does not want to risk losing him for an extended period.
Without Jorginho, coach Filipe Luís is evaluating the best alternatives for the position. De La Cruz and Saúl are the main candidates to form a partnership with Saúl in midfield . The coach will lead the final training session before the match on Wednesday (17) to determine his replacement.
Another confirmed absence is left-back Alex Sandro, who is nursing a calf injury and will be unfit to play. Ayrton Lucas and Matías Viña are competing for the starting spot on the left wing.
