Vitão was close to signing with Cruzeiro

The Flamengo is close to finalizing the signing of the defender Vitão from Internacional, after the club from Rio Grande do Sul accepted the offer. O Mais Querido included the value of the debt related to midfielder Thiago Maia, along with 500,000 euros (R$ 3.2 million at the current exchange rate) as a bonus.

According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, the deal involves the forgiveness of Thiago Maia's debt (including interest and penalties), amounting to 4.7 million euros (R$ 30.6 million at the current exchange rate), in addition to a payment of 5.5 million euros upfront (R$ 35.9 million), to be settled within ten days after the contract is signed.

Moreover, Flamengo included a bonus of 500,000 euros (R$ 3.2 million at the exchange rate) for 80% of the economic rights of the 25-year-old defender. The player has been a target for the red-black team since last season.

AND NOW, FLAMENGO?

Thus, with the agreement in progress with Internacional, Flamengo moves to the second stage of the negotiation. The club will now address the contractual terms with the defender Vitão. If concluded, the player will be the first signing for 2026.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE DEBT WITH INTERNACIONAL

Flamengo negotiated the sale of midfielder Thiago Maia to Internacional in 2024. However, the club from Rio Grande do Sul failed to pay the installments related to the transaction. As a result, the matter ended up in FIFA and the Sports Court. After years, the clubs reached an agreement.
