Corinthians and Palmeiras battle for Flamengo academy midfielder | OneFootball

Flamengo sold Vini Souza to European football in 2023 for almost R$ 70 million

Palmeiras has entered the race with Corinthians to sign midfielder Vini Souza, who was developed by Flamengo and currently plays for Wolfsburg (GER). Abel Ferreira's team has even made an official offer to try to move forward in negotiations with the player.

According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Palmeiras submitted an offer of 9 million euros (R$ 56.7 million at the current exchange rate) to Wolfsburg for Vini Souza. So far, the German club has not responded to the offer from Brazil.

On the other hand, Corinthians is looking to bring in Vini Souza on loan until December of this year, but without offering any financial compensation. Thus, Palmeiras has a better chance, even though the amounts are still far from the investment made in signing the former Flamengo player.

WHAT IS VINI SOUZA'S SITUATION?

Vini Souza joined Wolfsburg in June 2023. The German club paid 15 million euros (R$ 95 million at the exchange rate at the time). The former Flamengo player was at Sheffield United (ENG), which was playing in the second division of English football.

HOW DID FLAMENGO SELL VINI SOUZA?

In 2023, Flamengo sold Vini Souza to Sheffield for 12.5 million euros (R$ 64.7 million at the exchange rate at the time). After standing out in the Premier League and the second division, the midfielder was transferred to Wolfsburg. He was even targeted by Milan (ITA).
