O Corinthians will have, from this Thursday (10), the possibility of exercising the option to purchase goalkeeper Hugo Souza from Flamengo. The young archer, who is on loan to the São Paulo club, has been gaining space and the trust of the coaching staff, which led Timão to consider his permanent stay. The decision has not yet been announced, but the terms for a possible agreement have already been defined between the parties. The negotiation involves a value of 800 thousand euros (around 4.3 million reais at the current price) for 60% of the player's economic rights, com Flamengo maintaining a 40% stake for possible future transactions.
The stipulated payment method has also been agreed in advance. Corinthians may pay the amount in cash, or offer a bank guarantee that is accepted by Flamengo as a way of ensuring receipt of the amount. This negotiation model seeks to make the process more flexible and allow Timão to find the best way to pay for the operation, considering the club's financial situation and hiring policy, which aims to reinforce the squad without compromising its financial health. The Corinthians board sees keeping Hugo Souza as an interesting alternative, but is still analyzing the best strategies to carry out the deal.
< b> A BIG DIFFERENCE
It is worth remembering that, during the loan period, Hugo Souza has already performed a significant financial return to Flamengo. Before even discussing the definitive purchase, Rubro-Negro received 200 thousand euros for the athlete's initial loan. Furthermore, an agreement established between the clubs provided for the payment of an additional 1 million reais for each match that the goalkeeper played against Flamengo itself. So far, Hugo has faced Rubro-Negro on two occasions, which resulted in an addition of 2 million reais to the Flamengo club's coffers.
HUGO AND FLAMENGO
These values show how the negotiation has already brought financial benefits to the Rio club , regardless of completion of the purchase. Flamengo, who opted to loan Hugo Souza in search of more minutes of play for the athlete, managed to make the movement profitable and still maintained the possibility of profiting from a possible sale. Hugo's performance at Corinthians, added to the attractive value of the purchase option, could turn into a good deal for both parties.
On the Corinthians side, the assessment is that Hugo Souza fits the profile of athlete that the club is looking for: young, with potential for growth and enough experience to contribute to the squad. However, the final decision also involves financial analysis. The value of 800 thousand euros, even though it seems affordable in the current market, requires planning and defining priorities in the squad. With Cássio still the absolute starter, Hugo appears as a player for the future, but has already shown that he can be useful in decisive moments, if necessary.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.
Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.
With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.
At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.
Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Full-back Jorge, the new signing for Remo under executive director Marcos Braz , is experiencing a comeback in football. Discovered by Flamengo, he achieved national and international prominence, playing for clubs such as Palmeiras, Santos, Fluminense, and even in Europe , playing for Monaco, Porto, and Basel.
In France, with Monaco, Jorge won a French Championship title. Returning to Brazil in 2023, he signed with Fluminense, but suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee , which sidelined him for a long period. He later played for CRB, but played few games, with his last official match taking place on September 15, 2024.
At the press conference held last week, Jorge stated that he was physically recovered and available to coach António Oliveira: “ I am feeling very well physically , clinically too, that is the most important thing, after a very serious injury that I had at Fluminense… Today I feel good.”
Jorge, ex-Flamengo, reveals the reason for his career break: "I wanted to breathe a little"
Jorge revealed that he chose to take some time away from football to reflect and distance himself from stressful environments: “ When I arrived in Rio, after this contract I had at CRB , I decided that I wanted to breathe a little, get away from some environments through football, because I really went through a lot of things that only God knows.”
With extensive national and international experience, Jorge was also called up to the Brazilian national team in 2017 , playing a friendly against Colombia at Botafogo's Nilton Santos Stadium. The full-back arrives at Remo determined to regain his rhythm and contribute to the team.

Juventude could not resist the leader of the Brasileirão and was beaten 2-0 by Flamengo , last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi. After the match, coach Thiago Carpini highlighted the difference in level between the teams and praised the performance of Rubro-Negro .
Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"
"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.
The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.
"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.
With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
