This Friday (01), the president of the Deliberative Council of Corinthians, Romeu Tuma Jr., held a press conference and commented on the current situation of the São Paulo team. During his statement, the official said that the club wants to be Flamengo.

— I’m not going to close the coffin. Corinthians needs to turn the page and rise from the ashes. I want to soar like an eagle, we want to be Flamengo and we will be — said the official of the São Paulo team, during a press conference at Parque São Jorge.

DID CORINTHIANS PAY THE DEBT FOR MATHEUZINHO?

Flamengo received a multimillion payment this Friday (01). That’s because Corinthians paid about R$ 14 million to the Most Beloved for the purchase of right-back Matheuzinho, who left Rubro-Negro in February 2024.

At the time, Flamengo agreed to receive R$ 21.48 million from Corinthians for selling Matheuzinho. However, the São Paulo team delayed the third installment. Therefore, the Most Beloved demanded payment of the entire amount owed by the Itaquera team. So, after a few months, Rubro-Negro received the amount.
