On the afternoon of this Tuesday (3), the goalkeeper Hugo Souza used social media to counter the information published by the portal ge and reproduced by the page Time do Povo that he was considering returning to Europe after the World Cup, leaving Corinthians for the Old Continent. In an ironic tone, the number 1 posted: “Me quietly in my corner, out of nowhere an article like this… go figure!!”.

According to the publication, the 27-year-old goalkeeper would have the desire to play at a high level in European football, and the club's management was already aware of this intention. However, the club only admits to negotiating him if a proposal considered advantageous for its finances is made.

In this transfer window, Hugo Souza received two official offers: from Milan, Italy, and Besiktas, Turkey, both declined, as informed by OTB Sports itself, the company responsible for managing the goalkeeper's career.

“Hugo has a contract with Corinthians until the end of 2029 and is experiencing his best moment in his career. Focused on winning more trophies with the alvinegra jersey and, who knows, the Hexa with the Brazilian National Team, there is no talk of the goalkeeper leaving at this moment, as any and all transfer possibilities will only be discussed after the World Cup.”

Hugo Souza joined Corinthians from Chaves, Portugal, where he played on loan before returning to Flamengo. Later, he was loaned again and, in the 2025 season, was permanently acquired by the alvinegro club for R$ 4 million, corresponding to 60% of his economic rights. The contract is valid until December 2029.
