São Paulo turn down Flamengo’s multi-million bid for Marcos Antônio | OneFootball

São Paulo wants to keep Marcos Antônio in the squad

The Flamengo continues to seek new reinforcements, now for the midfield, aiming at the continuation of the season. Thus, one of the club's main targets, Marcos Antônio, saw São Paulo reject a million-dollar offer that included Allan in the deal.

According to information from journalist André Hernan, São Paulo refused 7.5 million euros (R$ 46.5 million at the current exchange rate) and the inclusion of Allan. Therefore, it is expected that Flamengo will decide whether to make a new offer for the player or abandon the deal.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF MARCOS ANTÔNIO?

Marcos Antônio joined São Paulo in 2024 on a loan of 150 thousand euros (R$ 906 thousand at the time's exchange rate). Therefore, if they want to buy the player outright, the São Paulo team will have to pay 4.2 million euros (R$ 26 million) to Lazio (ITA).

AND THE NEGOTIATION SITUATION?

São Paulo wants to sign Allan. Thus, Flamengo believes that including the player in the deal for Marcos Antônio might make sense. Moreover, the player from the São Paulo club has already worked with José Boto, Flamengo's football director, at Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR).

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While Flamengo decides whether to make a new offer for Marcos Antônio, the red-black squad remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. O Mais Querido faces Internacional this Wednesday (04), at 7 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the Brasileirão.
