São Paulo close to loaning Alisson to Rio club

Alisson may be leaving São Paulo. The Tricolor Paulista has advanced negotiations to loan the midfielder to Fluminense.

The clubs are negotiating an agreement until the end of the season, with the Rio de Janeiro team covering all the wages of the 32-year-old athlete.

The contract also includes a purchase option of 2.5 million euros (about R$ 15.2 million), should the Laranjeiras club decide to keep the midfielder in their squad, and a penalty of R$ 2 million if the athlete is included in matches against São Paulo.

Alisson joined São Paulo in 2022 and was one of the team's pillars in winning the Copa do Brasil the following year. The player has a contract with the São Paulo team until the end of 2027.

On the decline

Without a place in Hernán Crespo's squad, Alisson has played only one match for São Paulo this season.

The first and only time the midfielder took the field was in the club's season opener. On that occasion, he was among the starting 11 in the significant defeat to Mirassol, in the opening round of the Campeonato Paulista, at Campos Maia Stadium, in the interior of São Paulo.

Since then, he has not had any more opportunities and was even left out of the squad list for the other 13 games of the season.

Frustrated negotiation

At the beginning of the year, Alisson had everything set to join Corinthians at the request of coach Dorival Júnior. However, after reaching an agreement with São Paulo, the Corinthians board re-evaluated the deal and withdrew from the signing.

With the disagreement, the player was reintegrated into the Tricolor squad but received strong criticism from São Paulo fans for the negotiation and near agreement with the rival Paulista club.
