0Vitão, defender of Internacional, is at the center of attention in the transfer market. The player and his team are committed to completing a negotiation with Flamengo, current Libertadoreschampion. The transfer is seen as an important step in the athlete's career, considering the sporting and financial appeal that the CRF offers.
The player's agent, Giuliano Bertolucci, has a long-standing relationship with the Rio club, which facilitates dialogue. According to close sources, Vitão considers Mais Querido an excellent opportunity to consolidate his career, with prospects of being called up for the Brazilian National Team and, in the future, a possible transfer to major European clubs.< /p>
FLAMENGO PROPOSAL INCLUDES ROBUST SALARY
Flamengo presented an ambitious proposal for Vitão: a five-year contract, with a salary of around R$1 million per month. The offer demonstrates the club's commitment to bringing in the defender, but it still faces resistance from Internacional, which does not welcome the idea of strengthening a direct competitor in Brazilian football.
In addition to the salary proposal, the player's team plans a meeting with the Colorado board in Porto Alegre in the coming days. The objective is to present new arguments and press for the defender’s release. Internacional does not hide its resistance to negotiating Vitão. One of the main concerns of the club from Rio Grande do Sul is the negative repercussions among its fans if the transfer goes through. Additionally, the team is not willing to reinforce a strong rival on the national scene, even in the face of considerable offers.
The Colorado board set a price of 10 million euros (around R$62 million) for the defender. So far, Mengão's proposal includes 6 million euros in cash, plus the forgiveness of a debt of 4 million euros related to the transfer of Thiago Maia. Despite initial resistance, Flamengo evaluates ways to make the proposal more attractive. The inclusion of other assets or adjustments in values are being analyzed to convince Internacional's management.
