Flamengo received another million-dollar amount this Friday (01). This is because Corinthians paid about R$ 14 million to the Most Beloved for the purchase of right-back Matheuzinho, who left the Rubro-Negro in February 2024.
At the time, Flamengo agreed to receive R$ 21.48 million from Corinthians to sell Matheuzinho. However, the São Paulo team delayed the third installment, and the Most Beloved demanded the payment of the entire amount it had to receive from the Itaquera team. The information is from the Meu Timão portal.
Corinthians, therefore, reached an agreement with Brax, which sells advertising boards for the São Paulo team and Flamengo. The company, therefore, acted as guarantor of the deal and paid the amount to the Most Beloved.
By August 2024, Corinthians had paid R$ 8 million to Flamengo for Matheuzinho. Then, the São Paulo team transferred another R$ 7.58 million to Brax and, finally, another R$ 6 million to settle the entire debt with the Rubro-Negro.
Flamengo celebrates the payment made by Corinthians but focuses its attention on the match against Ceará on Sunday (03), for the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, with broadcast by Premiere, on pay-per-view.
