Alisson wants out of São Paulo, president awaits Corinthians fee | OneFootball

The situation of Alisson at São Paulo remains undefined. This Sunday (25), after the team's defeat in the Copinha final, the club's president, Harry Massis, made strong statements about the progress of negotiations and the player's wishes.

According to Massis, the midfielder no longer wants to play for Tricolor, but he noted that the transaction with Corinthians, who want Alisson on loan, is not finalized. If the money reaches São Paulo's coffers, he will be released to the rival.

“If they pay us R$ 1 million for the loan and R$ 500,000 later, I think in October or November, he will play this season at Corinthians. Until this payment is made, he is a São Paulo player. For now, nothing is finalized. Tomorrow we will see if this money will be deposited,” said the São Paulo president in an interview with TV Record.

Harry Massis evaluated that if the negotiation is completed, it was great for Tricolor, as Alisson no longer wishes to wear the São Paulo jersey, according to the president's own words.

“It was a very good negotiation for São Paulo. It will be a one-year loan for R$ 1.5 million. If he plays 25 matches, even playing only half the time, they will have to pay an additional 250,000 euros. If Corinthians wants to use him against São Paulo, they will have to pay an additional R$ 2 million. He is very close to Dorival and no longer wants to play at São Paulo,” stated Harry at Pacaembu.

The Corinthians board is reportedly looking for ways to secure resources over the weekend to pay for their new signing. From São Paulo's side, Alisson is already considered part of the past. The player even cleared out his locker last Friday and said goodbye to teammates and staff at the Barra Funda training center.

THE NEGOTIATION

The expectation was that Alisson would be announced on Friday (23) as the new signing for Corinthians.

The rival from the eastern zone got tired of trying to bargain with São Paulo and agreed to pay R$ 1 million upfront for the loan of the 32-year-old player, a request from their coach, Dorival Júnior.

As reported by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, in addition to the upfront amount, Corinthians also committed to paying another installment of R$ 500,000 for the deal starting mid-year, as confirmed by president Harry Massis.

The agreement includes a clause estimated at R$ 1.5 million if Alisson completes at least 25 games in Itaquera, playing at least 45 minutes. The penalty if the rival decides to field him in a classic against São Paulo this season is R$ 2 million. The player's salary will be covered by the team from the eastern zone.

The deal comes after the Morumbi club stood firm on a counterproposal made by the rival last Thursday (22), asking about the possibility of starting to pay for Alisson's transfer only in 2027. Faced with the refusal and pressure from Dorival himself for the arrival of his trusted man, they conceded.
