The president Augusto Melo was asked this Friday (20) about Corinthians' interest in striker Gabigol, from Flamengo. The Corinthians director said that the club's focus at the moment is the dispute in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, against Rubro-Negro himself, and treated the squad as "closed".

"No, we are very focused on the semi-final. We don't think about that now. We now have a closed squad. No, no, like that... We imagined what we were achieving today, now it's up to the (technical) committee", replied Augusto Melo in a zone. mixed, shortly after the draw for the teams in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil at the CBF.


Corinthians tried to sign the player at the beginning of the year, but left the deal after feeling a lack of definition between Flamengo and the athlete. The athlete's contract with Rubro-Negro is only valid until the end of the year, and the tendency is for the attacker to change his ways.


With little prestige with coach Tite and hampered by injuries, the numbers of Gabigol in the season are shy: four goals and one assist in 26 games (three as a starter).

Gabigol has already publicly praised the Corinthians fans and was recorded wearing a team shirt in May, which generated great repercussion. Revealed at Santos, the striker also has spells at Internazionale and Benfica, in addition to having already played for the Brazilian national team.

Therefore, the team has received demands from several clubs so that they can receive the amount charged when selling their athletes to the São Paulo team. Matheuzinho, former full-back of Flamengo, agreed to go to the São Paulo club. This Monday (10), Augusto Melo, president of the team, revealed that he needed help to pay off his debt with Rubro-Negro.

"He is a great friend, businessman and put some money into Corinthians and didn't withdraw a single dollar, didn't make transactions with players. He's a guy who whenever I needed it... Did you ask this question to other businesspeople in management? I don't know how much, but I think 4 million for the purchase of Matheuzinho", said Augusto? Melo.


"We have a monthly deficit due to interest that we need to pay. I had a meeting with the athletes that I would put in order as soon as I could, but I made it clear that the situation we are experiencing today does not mean that we would not There was a delay, which we are gradually remedying, and on Tuesday or Wednesday everything will be in order", added the president of Corinthians, when talking about the club's salaries.

BUSINESS WITH CORINTHIANS

Matheuzinho entered the field in 2024 in 15 matches for Corinthians. During this period, he scored one goal and did not provide any assists. However, in the match in which he scored his goal, the full-back was injured following the play, spending some time without playing on the field.
