Italian club chief attends Corinthians match to scout Gui Negão

A substitute at the start of the match against Botafogo, striker Gui Negão had a different spectator at the Neo Química Arena. After standing out in recent months, Marco Di Vaio, sporting director of Bologna-ITA, was present in one of the stadium's boxes alongside the player's staff. The information comes from Itatiaia.

Even with Memphis Depay absent and the possibility of starting, Gui Negão only came on in the second half, at the 29th minute, playing for almost 20 minutes under the Italian's watchful eye. On Timão’s side, there is hope for an offer after the transfer window opens.

Even with little professional experience, having even played in the Copinha at the start of this year, Gui Negão has already managed to stand out and attract the attention of European clubs. Zenit, from Russia, signaled with an offer of 15 million euros (R$ 93.8 million at the time’s exchange rate), but Corinthians wants at least 20 million euros.

Even before debuting for the senior team, former president Augusto Melo rejected an offer of approximately 14 million euros from Montpellier, France, which would have been an option after a loan period. Due to these inquiries, the club renewed the player’s contract until 2030, retaining 80% of his economic rights.

The international transfer window opens on January 1st, with clubs from all over the world entering the market, especially the Europeans. Corinthians’ expectation is to raise funds during this period, aiming to end the transfer ban and settle other debts.
