Midfielder Thiago Maia is close to returning to Santos. The São Paulo club advanced in negotiations to sign the player and sign a four-season contract. This negotiation also involves the resolution of Internacional's debt with Flamengo, the club that holds part of the athlete's economic rights.
Santos agreed to assume Internacional's financial debt with o Flamengo, maintaining the same payment flow previously agreed between the clubs. However, Flamengo requires high standard financial guarantees, known as "class guarantees A", before finalizing the agreement.
FLAMENGO SEEKS SAFETY IN THE OPERATION
Flamengo adopts a cautious stance in this operation, demanding guarantees to avoid problems similar to those faced with International. In 2021, the club from Rio Grande do Sul signed a commitment to pay 4 million euros for 50% of Thiago Maia's economic rights. However, Internacional did not meet its financial obligations.
DECISION POINT
The debt in question is now one of the main points of negotiation between Flamengo, Santos and the player. Rubro-Negro holds 25% of the athlete's economic rights, while the rest is divided equally between Internacional and Lille, from France, the player's former club. Thiago Maia, who started his career at Santos, is seen as a key player in strengthening the São Paulo club's squad. Since leaving for European football, the athlete has maintained emotional ties with the team that revealed him.The return to Santos represents an opportunity for a fresh start in a familiar environment for the player.
The midfielder also sees the movement as a chance for greater protagonism. At Flamengo, Thiago Maia faced periods of fluctuation, alternating between the starting lineup and the bench. At Santos, the expectation is that he will assume a central role in the team. Santos' decision to assume Internacional's debt reflects the club's confidence in Thiago Maia's ability to add technical and sporting value. The Santos board sees the player as a strategic investment, even with the financial challenge involved.

Flamengo has formalized a proposal for goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão , Santos' standout player in 2025. According to information from UOL, Rubro-Negro offered seven million euros (around R$45 million) for 60% of the player's economic rights.
Despite the high price, Santos rejected the offer. The São Paulo club believes Brazão should only leave if a minimum offer of €15 million (approximately R$94 million) is met, a sum considered fair by the board to open negotiations.
According to Gazeta do Urubu , the Rio de Janeiro club has not yet made an official offer to the player. Sources within the board revealed that the player is being monitored, but there have been no official talks with the goalkeeper yet.
Gabriel Brazão is in great form and has become one of the most highly valued goalkeepers in Brazilian football. In addition to Flamengo 's interest, European clubs are also monitoring the situation. Torino, from Italy, even submitted a R$64 million offer , which Santos also rejected.
Other giants like Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Porto are closely monitoring the player's progress , as he has played 33 matches this season. Santos' board, which recently loaned João Paulo to Bahia, is working to keep Brazão at least until the end of the year.

Even after a successful transfer window, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market to further strengthen its squad . The main target at this time is Argentine striker Valentín Castellanos , a player who has expressed interest in joining Flamengo but faces resistance from Lazio, who are not making his exit easy.
Last Saturday (16), Lazio played a friendly against Atromitos, from Greece, winning 2-0. However, the match was marked by a general confusion that resulted in the expulsion of Castellanos . The Mengão striker disagreed with defender Mansur , exchanged aggressions and ended up receiving a red card.
According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, the fight didn't end on the field. In the locker room, the situation escalated, and the police had to intervene to calm things down . Italian press sources indicate that Castellanos is experiencing emotional instability, driven by frustration at not being released by Lazio to play in Brazilian football.
In the market, the Rubro-Negro are looking for a number 9 with different characteristics than Pedro , prioritizing a more mobile and versatile player in attack. Names like Taremi, Beltrán, and Castellanos were only monitored by the Rio team.
