Corinthians find contract issue in Murillo sale, Duilio apologises | OneFootball

After the case involving the sale of Pedro and Robert Renan's percentages to Zenit, Corinthians returned to analyze contracts signed in previous administrations. According to GE, in the case of defender Murillo, sold in 2023, the club retained 10% of the profit from a future sale, not 10% of the total value, as was believed after a note from the club at the time.

“We held 80% of the rights. Corinthians retained 10% of the profit from a future negotiation and an additional amount of 500 thousand euros if the athlete played 65% of the season's games. This would be repeated for three seasons. There must have been some mistake in the communication of the sale, for which I apologize,” said Duilio Monteiro Alves, the president at the time, to ge.globo.

“However, the club's Legal Department has very precise control over these retained percentages, so even when there is a communication error, the club does not suffer financial losses”, added the former president.

Murillo was sold to Nottingham Forest in September 2023 for about 12 million euros fixed. In a statement released by the board, Corinthians claimed to have retained the right to “10% of a future sale,” but in reality, the club only has the right to 10% of the profit that the English team might obtain in a probable future sale.

The defender has been frequently mentioned in European football speculations. After almost two years in Europe, he stands out defensively for the English team, sparking interest from other clubs on the Old Continent. As it holds the right to a share of the values, Corinthians monitors the situation.

He was revealed in Corinthians' youth categories but played only 27 games for the professional team before being negotiated. At the time, Murillo was a key starter for the team alongside Gil and helped the team reach the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, leaving the club shortly thereafter.
