Flamengo move for Corinthians player gets curious response | OneFootball

Matheus Bidu is an undisputed starter for Corinthians

Flamengo continues to keep an eye on the transfer market in search of more options to strengthen its defense. With that in mind, the Rubro-Negro side tried to sign left back Matheus Bidu from Corinthians. However, the São Paulo club put a stop to any interest.

That is because Corinthians football executive Marcelo Paz informed Flamengo's board that he will not negotiate the sale of any starters in the squad. As a result, Matheus Bidu remains with the São Paulo team. The information was published by the ‘SSCP News’ profile.

WHO IS MATHEUS BIDU?

Matheus Bidu is 25 years old and has been Corinthians’ starting left back in recent seasons. Currently, the defender has made 16 appearances for the São Paulo side in 2026, with two assists and one goal in that span.

DOES FLAMENGO NEED A LEFT BACK?

Flamengo currently has two players who operate on the left side in the squad: Alex Sandro, who is the undisputed starter and a player expected to go to the World Cup. In addition, Ayrton Lucas is the backup. However, the latter could be transferred soon due to the current situation.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While Flamengo watches the market, the Rubro-Negro squad is off during the FIFA international break at the end of March. Therefore, the Most Beloved will only return to action on April 2 against Red Bull Bragantino in the Brazilian Championship.
