Vitão was close to signing with Cruzeiro

Flamengo is close to finalizing the signing of center-back Vitão from Internacional, after the club from Rio Grande do Sul accepted the offer. O Mais Querido included the value of the debt related to midfielder Thiago Maia, as well as a bonus of 500 thousand euros (R$ 3.2 million at the current exchange rate).

According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, the deal involves forgiving the Thiago Maia debt (including interest and fines), amounting to 4.7 million euros (R$ 30.6 million at the current exchange rate), in addition to a payment of 5.5 million euros upfront (R$ 35.9 million), to be settled within ten days after signing the contract.

In addition, Flamengo included a bonus of 500 thousand euros (R$ 3.2 million at the current exchange rate) for 80% of the economic rights of the 25-year-old defender. The player had been a target for the rubro-negro team since last season.

WHAT NOW, FLAMENGO?

Thus, with the deal on track with Internacional, Flamengo moves on to the second stage of negotiations. The club will now handle the contractual terms with defender Vitão. If completed, the player will be the first signing for 2026.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE DEBT WITH INTERNACIONAL

Flamengo negotiated the sale of midfielder Thiago Maia to Internacional in 2024. However, the club from Rio Grande do Sul failed to pay the installments related to the transaction. As a result, the case ended up at FIFA and the Sports Court. After years, the clubs have reached an agreement.
