Internacional has not yet made the payment of R$24 million for the purchase of Thiago Maia, who was traded to Flamengo in July 2024. Given the delay, Rubro-Negro is looking for alternatives to guarantee the receipt of the amount, including possible legal measures.
The president of the Rio Grande do Sul club, Alessandro Barcelos, commented on the situation and acknowledged the debt, but highlighted the financial difficulties faced by the Colorado. “Flamengo is within its rights. Just like Internacional has its creditors, those who owe the club. We are always dealing with the situation in the best possible way”, he stated.
INTERNATIONAL ALLEGED FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES TO JUSTIFY DELAY
In his speech, Barcelos mentioned that the Rio Grande do Sul club is looking for a solution for the payment and stated that the situation does not match Internacional's conduct. "It is not Internacional's style to keep this commitment open, but these are exceptional situations. We are looking for a solution," explained the director.
The president of Colorado also mentioned that the exposure of debts in Brazilian football could involve several teams. “Now, the exposure of creditors, if we were to do this in Brazilian football, all clubs would have some demand”, he concluded.
NEGOTIATION BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND INTERNACIONAL WAS CLOSED IN 2024
The sale of Thiago Maia to Internacional was completed in July 2024 for 4 million euros (R$ 24.1 million at the exchange rate at the time). However, the full payment has not yet been made , which has generated dissatisfaction at Mais Querido.
In an attempt to settle the debt, Internacional sought to transfer the player to Santos at the beginning of the season. The São Paulo club would assume responsibility for the payment, but the terms presented were not accepted by Flamengo .
Rubro-Negro demanded that Santos present bank guarantees or make the payment in cash , which did not happen. Thus, the deal was suspended, and Thiago Maia remained at the disposal of Colorado.
