Agent reveals Benfica offered €12m plus €3m add-ons for Corinthians player | OneFootball

André, defensive midfielder for Corinthians, is one of the names that has been attracting the most attention from Benfica. At 19 years old, the player has been linked to several European clubs, especially from Italy, but it was the Reds who made a concrete offer in the last winter market.

According to the athlete's agent, Diogo Silva, the Reds' approach was clear and objective: “The only official proposal we received was from Benfica. An offer of 12 million euros fixed and three million euros in objectives. Corinthians immediately refused and didn't even want to set a value or make a counteroffer,” he stated, in statements reproduced by ‘R7 Esportes’.

Meanwhile, in the last few hours, André has been linked to Milan, in a deal that would be around 15 million euros fixed, plus two million in objectives, for 70% of the pass. However, the Brazilian press reports a last-minute refusal by Osmar Stábile, president of the São Paulo club, after coach Dorval Júnior expressed reservations about the player's departure.

Trained in the youth ranks of Corinthians, André joined the main team last season and has been establishing himself as an important piece in the midfield, whether as a defensive midfielder or further back in the center of the field.
