Flamengo remains interested in signing Marcos Antônio from São Paulo. For this reason, the São Paulo team is considering adopting a new strategy to prevent losing the player to the Most Beloved.
According to ESPN, São Paulo is considering adopting an 'anti-harassment strategy'. The idea is to anticipate the purchase of Marcos Antônio to extend the contract duration and increase his salary, hindering the Rubro-Negro in the negotiation.
Flamengo made a very financially advantageous offer to Marcos Antônio. Thus, if the midfielder agrees to play for the Most Beloved, he will receive a considerably higher salary. Therefore, São Paulo is doing everything possible to keep the athlete.
Flamengo now relies on José Boto to advance negotiations for Marcos Antônio. This is because the Most Beloved's technical director of football previously worked with the athlete at Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) before joining the Rubro-Negro and has a good relationship with the player.
Amidst the search for reinforcements, Flamengo will face Internacional this Wednesday (04) at Maracanã, for the second round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 7 PM (Brasília time), with live coverage by Coluna do Fla.
