YOU LOST, FLAMENGO! ACCORDING TO THE PORTAL, IGOR CORONADO ARRIVES THIS WEEK TO CLOSE WITH CORINTHIANS

The transfer market remains busy and several Brazilian teams continue to strengthen themselves for the season. This is the case of Corinthians, who agreed all the details of the signing of Igor Coronado, a midfielder offered to Flamengo and who played for Al - Ittihad, in Saudi Arabia.

According to information from journalist Bruno Andrade, from UOL, the attacking midfielder will arrive in Brazil at the beginning of this week to undergo medical examinations and sign with Itaquera's team for two years. Remembering that he was offered to Flamengo before making an agreement with the São Paulo team.

MATHEUS BACHI CONFIRMS CONTACT WITH IGOR CORONADO

Last Saturday (10), Flamengo beat Volta Redonda 3 to 0. After the match, Tite and his assistant, Matheus Bachi, held a press conference. Thus, Matheus Bachi confirmed that he got in touch with Igor Coronado, just as it was in the news last week.

"We followed several championships last year while I was off. He made it clear to the direction to our hiring idea, and we have to be open to opportunities that we believe can add to the squad, that can come and compete. We are aware that the FIFAS Dates can hurt the team. In this scenario, I had contact with him (Igor Coronado) to find out his idea, how the situation was, then everything was discussed with the management", said Bachi, in a press conference at Maracanã, after Flamengo 3×0 over Volta Redonda.

Flamengo's vice president of football, Marcos Braz, was asked about Matheus Bachi's statement, but he was emphatic and assured that there is no possibility of signing Igor Coronado . The midfielder's agent has even made repeated publications with messages for Corinthians.

"Zero, there are no negotiations (with Igor Coronado). Even with respect to the player, it's not that there's zero chance. What I said is that there is no negotiation going on. Because talking about zero chances is disrespectful towards the player. So, I'm saying that there is nothing going on with this player and it never started", highlighted Marcos Braz .

 DID YOU MISS AN OPPORTUNITY?

With Igor Coronado almost signed with Corinthians, Flamengo may have let a great chance pass by. This is because it is possible that Mais Querido will lose half of the midfield on the FIFA and Copa América dates, as Erick Pulgar, Arrascaeta and De La Cruz will represent their respective teams. Furthermore, Gerson should also be called up by Dorival Júnior.
