Maycon open to leaving Corinthians before end of contract | OneFootball

After the defeat of Corinthians to Sport, last Sunday, in the Brazilian Championship, midfielder Maycon commented on the possibility of renewing with the club and stated that "everything is open", since, according to him, the focus now is on the decisive moment of the season.

"We haven't talked yet. There's a lot we're still competing for. Especially in the Brazilian Championship, we're not in a very comfortable situation. Later on, we have a Brazilian Cup decision. At the right time, if the club wishes, we'll talk, but I'll never close the doors to Corinthians", declared Maycon, who has a contract valid until the end of this year.

The 28-year-old player is in his second stint with the Black and White. In total, he has 231 games, in which he scored 16 goals, 13 assists and four titles: one Brazilian Championship (2017) and three Paulistas (2017/2018/2025). Owned by Shakhtar Donetsk, from Ukraine, Maycon has been defending the São Paulo club on loan since 2022.

"If they think they are interested in talking, I will be willing, but I also know that, at some point, I will leave. I leave it to the board to decide this moment. If they want to talk, I will be open. If not, I have to prepare and I am happy for the story I built and am building here", he added.

With the negative result in Recife, Corinthians remained with 29 points, in the 10th position of the table. On top of that, they also lost their undefeated streak, which had reached five games (four wins and one draw). If they had won, they would have achieved the longest streak of matches without being defeated since the arrival of coach Dorival Júnior.

With Maycon available, Timão returns to the fields next Sunday, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), when they host Flamengo, at Neo Química Arena, for the 25th round.
