After failed Corinthians move, Santos enquire about Alisson | OneFootball

After seeing his move to rival Corinthians blocked due to the rival’s lack of conditions (and interest) in fulfilling the agreed payment of R$ 1 million upfront for a one-season loan, midfielder Alisson is definitely packing his bags to leave São Paulo.

And the 32-year-old player’s destination could be another traditional rival: Santos.

As revealed by ‘ESPN‘ and confirmed by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, directors from the coastal team spoke with São Paulo’s management during the last two derbies between the teams, inquiring about the situation of the number 25.

The Santos representatives were informed that the terms offered to Corinthians remain the same: R$ 1.5 million for a one-year loan, with R$ 1 million paid upfront and R$ 500,000 in the second half of the year. Afterwards, if he reaches 25 matches, even if only playing up to halftime, they will have to pay a little over R$ 1.5 million. If Santos wants to use him against São Paulo, they will have to pay a fee of R$ 2 million.

The coastal team has not yet advanced in negotiations (nor made an official offer). They are reportedly evaluating the terms and promised to respond soon.

Alisson knows he is not in Hernán Crespo’s plans. The clear signal came last Wednesday (4th), at Vila Belmiro, when in his press conference he made it clear that Alisson lost his place after the failed move to the east side. This came after previously indicating that the player would be welcomed back.

In other words, for those who can read between the lines… Even Rafinha, now the club’s sporting director and a former teammate of the number 25, tried to work to overcome the crisis. But the management is clear: they no longer want to count on the player.

AMT has learned that Alisson’s agents have been trying since last week to find a new destination for the midfielder. Some other interested parties have emerged, but São Paulo insists on receiving R$ 1 million upfront for the loan before opening talks.

Besides Santos, another attractive business possibility is the United States. The player’s staff has received inquiries from American clubs, and this would be a dream solution for both Alisson and São Paulo. Now, it remains to be seen if this option materializes.
