Flamengo and Corinthians occupied the same page of the news several times in this window. Between speculated names, negotiations, interviews and a frayed relationship, the last chapter is dispute for the Maycon midfielder.What happened?
Flamengo tried, but Maycon decided to continue at Corinthians. The player is on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk to the São Paulo club, which has priority for the purchase. Rubro-Negro reached an agreement with Shakhtar, but Maycon met with Timão and decided to continue at the club that revealed him. Corinthians promised to pay an old debt in terms of image rights and negotiate a permanent stay.
This is the sixth player involving both clubs to be mentioned in negotiations this window. Gabigol, Thiago Maia, Fausto Vera, Pablo and Matheuzinho were the other names with some type of conversation in recent times. Matheuzinho worked, but not without a soap opera. The right-back, in fact, was the last straw for the deterioration of the relationship, which had already started with the statements about Gabigol.At the time, the two clubs criticized the behavior behind the scenes of the rival. Corinthians due to the fact that Flamengo did not transfer the player with the requested clauses and Rubro-Negro due to the official note made by Alvinegro. The full-back's staff was also dissatisfied with the way the deal was done. In the end, the player was sold to the Black and Whites.
Displeasure with the President of CorinthiansAugusto Melo's stance of going public to talk about Gabigol as well angered Fla. He was denied by both Rio directors and the player's agent after stating that he opened negotiations with the club and athlete.
Corinthians imagined that the good relationship, especially between Rubão and Marcos Braz, would help in negotiating reinforcements. Now, the conversation between the clubs is "only professional", without facilitation. Fla's football vice-president was in possession of Melo.
Flamengo approached Shakhtar for Maycon without informing Corinthians, who are now celebrating their stay. Timão believes that the episode shows the club's strength in the market.

This Monday (16), rumors emerged involving Bahia's interest in signing Gabigol, striker from Mais Querido. According to the channel Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Tricolor de Aço would have entered the dispute for Gabigol, who has a contract with Flamengojust until December this year. In addition to Bahia, clubs such as Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Grêmio, Palmeiras and Santos would also be keeping an eye on the player.
Despite the speculation, the Bahia board was quick to deny any ongoing negotiations to count on the shirt 99 from Mengão. According to the club's leadership, there is no intention of repeating an operation similar to that carried out with Everton Ribeiro.
As soon as news of the supposed interest began to circulate, Bahia tried to clarify the situation. In a statement, the club's senior management stated that there are no negotiations to sign Gabigol for next season. The information of possible interest, therefore, was directly denied by Tricolor's directors.
Even so, the attacker remains one of the most targeted names in the transfer market for 2025, as he is in the final stretch of contract with Flamengoand you can now sign a pre-contract with any other team.
With Bahia's denial, Corinthians remains the main favorite to sign Gabigol from next year. The possibility of the red-black striker wearing the Timão shirt gains strength, especially after coach Tite appointed Gabigol as the third option for Mengão's attacking command, behind Pedro and Bruno Henrique.
