Flamengo to make final bid for Vitão as defender nears Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Internacional has already rejected some offers from Flamengo for Vitão

Even before the transfer window opens, clubs are already active in the market. In this scenario, Cruzeiro is well on its way to signing the defender Vitão from Internacional. However, despite this, Flamengo is expected to make a final offer for the defender. 

Even with the negotiation well advanced with Cruzeiro, Vitão is expected to receive a final offer from Flamengo. This is because the deal with the Minas Gerais club is not yet closed. Thus, the Most Beloved promises a new bid for the Inter defender.

Initially, the offer from Flamengo totaled 8.7 million euros (R$ 57 million at the current exchange rate). In summary, the Red-Black offered an amount, in addition to forgiving the debt for Thiago Maia. However, Internacional promptly rejected the Red-Black offer.

What did Internacional want?

As previously mentioned, the offer from Flamengo did not please Internacional. This is because the club from Rio Grande do Sul asked Fla to waive the interest and correction of the debt involving Thiago Maia, in addition to forgiving 4 million euros and paying an additional 6 million euros.

Is Flamengo's interest longstanding?

Yes! Internacional had already rejected another offer from Flamengo. Before this, in the middle of this year, the Red-Black proposed R$ 53.2 million for the defender, with R$ 31.6 million in cash and R$ 21.6 million related to the forgiveness of the debt for Thiago Maia, loaned to the club from Rio Grande do Sul.

In March 2024, Internacional signed Thiago Maia for 4 million euros (R$ 21.6 million at the time). However, so far, the club from Rio Grande do Sul has not made any payments on the ten installments of the agreement. Therefore, Flamengo is trying to find solutions to receive the amount.
