Vasco will not renew midfielder Matheus França’s contract and has released the player to return to English football. Therefore, the player who came through at Flamengo will return to Crystal Palace (ENG), the club he is still under contract with.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Matheus França will return to Crystal Palace after the World Cup, which starts in June and ends in July. The former Flamengo player did not convince Vasco’s board to extend his deal for longer.
Matheus França has a contract with Vasco until June of this year. So far, the player developed by Flamengo has made 25 appearances for the rival club, in which he has neither scored goals nor provided assists for his teammates.
Flamengo developed Matheus França and soon transferred the attacking midfielder to Crystal Palace in June 2023. The English club paid a fixed fee of 20 million euros (R$ 104 million at the exchange rate at the time). In addition, there are another 5 million euros (R$ 26 million) in bonuses.
Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. The Most Beloved takes the field on Sunday (26) against Atlético-MG at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), away from home, for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship.
