At Zubeldía’s request, Fluminense bid for Alisson from São Paulo | OneFootball

At the request of coach Luis Zubeldía, Fluminense formally submitted a proposal to São Paulo on the night of Tuesday (3) to sign midfielder Alisson, who has been sidelined from the tricolor team since the failed transfer of the number 25 to rival Corinthians.

The information was initially reported by journalist Victor Lessa, who covers the Rio de Janeiro team on social media, and confirmed to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR by sources within São Paulo's football management.

According to preliminary information, the offer would be a loan until the end of the season, with Fluminense fully covering the number 25's salary, including a purchase clause contingent on meeting certain goals.

The Tricolor promised to calmly respond to the Rio de Janeiro club throughout Wednesday (4).

As reported, Alisson was a request from Zubeldía, who coached the player during his time at Morumbi. However, unlike what happened with Dorival Júnior in Itaquera, the Argentine did not have any contact with the number 25 to try to assist in the negotiation.

Fluminense is the third Brazilian club to inquire about Alisson since the issue of his move to Corinthians. Santos and Vasco also approached São Paulo but backed off due to the tricolor's demands for the negotiation: R$ 1.5 million for a one-year loan, with R$ 1 million paid upfront and R$ 500,000 in the second half of the year. Additionally, if he plays 25 matches, even if only for half the time, the new club will have to pay a little over R$ 1.5 million.

If they want to use him against the Tricolor, they will have to pay a fee of R$ 2 million.

São Paulo might repeat the same demands to the Rio de Janeiro club, possibly to cool their interest. Alisson was reintegrated into the squad at the request of Rafinha and Hernán Crespo, and the plans, which once aimed to offload him, now seem to have changed, and he is part of the plans for the rest of the season.
