Discounts? Corinthians face a cold window, consider cut-price sales | OneFootball

With the transfer window officially open for twenty-two days, the current situation is the opposite of what Corinthians initially expected. With no official offers for players, the “cold” market has frustrated the board, which had hoped to sell at least one player to ease the club’s finances.

Even before the window opened, Alvinegro had been receiving some inquiries. Now, with the absence of official offers, the board is already considering reassessing the asking prices for players in this window. The information was first reported by Uol and confirmed by the Central do Timão report.

The idea of Corinthians’ directors is to adapt the negotiation terms if the market scenario remains unchanged.

Too bold a forecast?

In May, Corinthians published in its quarterly financial report a forecast of raising 25 million euros (R$ 147.7 million) from player deals. Internally, the finance department was working with a net projection in the range of R$ 150 million to R$ 180 million, an amount needed for the club to have more breathing room financially.

Although names like André and Breno Bidon had been mentioned behind the scenes as the main assets to be sold in this window, Yuri Alberto’s situation was also being monitored by the football department. The initial idea was to receive between 20 million euros and 25 million euros for the percentages it holds of these players in order to open negotiations.

With no concrete offers, the board admits the possibility of negotiating for values lower than those previously set.
