In recent days, a negotiation involving goalkeeper Hugo Souza and the clubs Flamengo and Corinthians brought to light financial and delicate contractual conditions, generating some tension between the parties. The São Paulo club, backed by a clause in the loan contract, made a formal proposal to acquire 50% of the player's economic rights, offering 800 thousand euros (around R$ 4.8 million ). Payment would be made in installments, divided into four installments, to be paid by 2026. However, this proposal, which initially seemed simple, came up against already compromised financial guarantees and generated discomfort among red-hot managers. black.
As part of the negotiation,Corinthians presented the contract with Brax as payment guarantor, a measure that, in principle, would serve as a guarantee that the club would be able to honor its financial obligations. However, this same guarantee had already been used in a previous transaction, involving the purchase from full-back Matheuzinho. The São Paulo club delayed a portion of this purchase, committing to make payment only when it has new receivables, which, according to forecasts, will only occur in 2025. This duplicity in the use of the same guarantee irritated Flamengo's board, which sees the imbroglio as a sign of lack of organization or bad faith on the part of Corinthians.
HUGO WILL LEAVE? b>
The situation generated even greater discomfort due to the possible need for Corinthians to pay a fine of R$500 again thousand for the use of Hugo Souza. The club had previously been fined for contractual issues related to the use of the goalkeeper, and this recurrence only adds more layers to the conflict. Flamengo, in turn, appears to be taking a firm stance in the face of the situation, especially as the pending issues financial issues relating to Matheuzinho have not yet been resolved.
In addition to the direct impact on relations between the clubs, this financial impasse could have important sporting consequences, as the two teams face each other next Sunday (20), in a decisive duel for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil. The match, which would already be naturally intense due to the rivalry between the two giants of Brazilian football, now also carries the weight of this dispute off the field, which could influence the atmosphere between the players and managers.
JOURNALIST CRAVOU? WILL IT LEAVE?
Journalist Jorge Nicola, on his YouTube channel, brought an interesting perspective on the future of Hugo Souza. According to him, Flamengo could be open to the idea of having the goalkeeper in the squad again, if negotiations with Corinthians do not progress as expected. Thered and black board would be planning to sell Matheus Cunha at the end of the season, which would make room for Hugo's return. This possibility, however, would depend on several factors, including the course of the conversations with the São Paulo club and Hugo Souza's performance in the coming months.
Amidst this complex scenario, Flamengo is in a strategic position. If, on the one hand, Corinthians' financial proposal may seem advantageous in the long term, especially considering Matheus Cunha's sale plans, on the other, the uncertainty regarding the fulfillment of guarantees and previous payment problems raise doubts about the viability of the agreement. Additionally, the return of Hugo Souza could bring stability to the Flamengo squad in a position that traditionally requires confidence and regularity.
