Flamengo could pocket millions from Corinthians full-back's move to Zenit | OneFootball

Which Corinthians player could be sold to Zenit (RUS)?

Right-back Matheuzinho, from Corinthians, is on Zenit’s (RUS) radar. The Russian club is preparing to pay a multimillion-dollar fee to sign the player. Flamengo, therefore, could receive a huge amount for the athlete.

This is because Zenit is willing to pay 7 million euros (R$ 40.5 million) for Corinthians’ Matheuzinho. However, 40% of the player’s economic rights belong to Flamengo. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro could receive R$ 16.2 million if the sale goes through.

Will Corinthians agree to sell Matheuzinho?

Corinthians, however, do not intend to sell Matheuzinho at this time. That is because the São Paulo club considers the amount too low, largely because it owns only 60% of the right-back’s economic rights.

Another important point is that Corinthians believe they do not have a replacement in the squad in the event of Matheuzinho’s departure. For this reason, the São Paulo club does not intend to sell the player in the middle of the year.

What is Matheuzinho’s history at Flamengo?

Matheuzinho played for Flamengo’s first team between the 2020 and 2024 seasons. In total, the right-back made 153 appearances, scoring four goals and providing 22 assists. In addition, he won one Libertadores, one Brasileirão, one Supercopa, one Copa do Brasil, and three Carioca titles.
