Coritiba turn down Flamengo bid for 17-year-old player | OneFootball

Khensane Mpusane has a contract with Coritiba until December 2028

Flamengo continues its planning for the rest of the youth football season and will not count on midfielder Khensane Mpusane from Coritiba. This is because the Paraná club rejected the offer from Flamengo and wants to keep the 17-year-old talent.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Khensane will only leave Coritiba if the full release clause is paid, which is set at R$ 30 million for the domestic market. Therefore, the player will remain with the Paraná club for now.

WHO IS KHENSANE MPUSANE?

Currently, Khensane Mpusane has a contract with Coritiba until December 2028. It's worth mentioning that the 17-year-old is highly valued in the Brazilian market and is considered by many as the ‘Brazilian Pogba’.

Khensane Mpusane is Brazilian, but of Mozambican descent. The 17-year-old midfielder emerged at Coritiba in 2025, when he played a match for the first team. Soon after, he continued to stand out in the youth ranks of the Paraná club.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Meanwhile, the Flamengo board is mapping out new targets for the youth teams, while the professional squad remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. Thus, the Most Beloved faces Fluminense on Sunday (08), at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), in the final of the Carioca.
