Corinthians is close to losing a key starter before the Supercopa do Brasil, against Flamengo. The player in question is midfielder Maycon, who has accepted the offer to play for Atlético-MG.
According to information from the portal ‘Time do Povo’, Atlético-MG matched Corinthians’ offer to Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR). In addition, the team from Minas Gerais offered Maycon a higher salary compared to the offer made by the São Paulo club.
Therefore, Maycon has accepted Atlético-MG’s proposal. Now, the team from Minas Gerais is working to resolve all pending issues with Shakhtar Donetsk to finalize the signing of the midfielder, who won the Copa do Brasil in 2025 with Corinthians.
Flamengo will face Corinthians in the Supercopa do Brasil final on February 1st, at Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília. The CBF, however, has yet to announce the time of the interstate classic.
Flamengo will face Portuguesa on January 11th, at 6pm (Brasília time), in their debut in the Campeonato Carioca. The match will be held at Estádio Raulino de Oliveira, in Volta Redonda, and fans can follow all the action through coverage by Coluna do Fla.
