Goalkeeper Hugo Souza is very close to being Corinthians' newest reinforcement. The athlete will play on loan for the São Paulo team until the end of this season. This way, Flamengo will have millions in revenue from this negotiation.
To get Hugo Souza, Corinthians will pay 200 thousand euros (around R$ 1.19 million at current prices) for the loan. Furthermore, if the team chooses to keep the goalkeeper at the end of the loan contract, the São Paulo team will have the option of paying 800,000 euros (around R$4.7 million) for 50% of the goalkeeper's economic rights.
Corinthians is experiencing a goalkeeping crisis this season. This is because, after Cássio decided to leave the club and go to Cruzeiro, it was Carlos Miguel's turn, his immediate replacement in the role, to also prefer to leave the São Paulo team. Thus, there was a gap in the team's role.
In search of an option for the position, Corinthians targeted the hiring of Hugo Souza. Flamengo's youngster will arrive at the club after having a good season playing for Deportivo Chaves, from Portugal. In the country's last national championship, the goalkeeper was one of the highlights of the tournament.
Revealed in Flamengo's youth categories, Hugo Souza emerged on the football scene after an excellent performance in the 1-1 draw with Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque. On that occasion, the goalkeeper made at least three difficult saves in the duel. After returning to Brazil to enjoy vacation, Flamengo showed no interest in reinstating Hugo Souza to the squad. It is important to emphasize that, even if he agrees to go to Corinthians, the goalkeeper has a valid contract with Rubro-Negro until December 2025.

In an interview with the Trivela portal, Léo Ortiz, defender of Flamengo and son of former player Ortiz, opened up about a different experience on the field: playing as a midfielder. In a recent interview, the athlete told how this position is not completely foreign to him, as his first lessons in football were precisely in this role, during the time he played futsal.
"I think it was the first thing I learned in field, coming from futsal, it was this position as a midfielder. So that made me remember some things I learned back in my time at the base, playing in that position," said Léo Ortiz.
THE IMPROVISATION THAT WORKED
The player highlighted that the experience at futsal was fundamental to his technical and tactical development. Futsal, known for being a sport that requires quick thinking and skill with the ball at your feet, helped Léo improve his game. He mentioned that this futsal base made it easier to adapt when he needed to act as a midfielder, a position that requires good reading of the game and constant movement.
In addition, Léo Ortiz explained how he can take advantage of his defender skills when acting as steering wheel. "I can bring the defender part of the positioning, like covering the other midfielder and also building a little closer to the goalkeeper." This versatility is an asset to the player and his team, allowing him to play different roles depending on the team's needs.
