At Zubeldía’s request, Fluminense make offer to São Paulo to sign Alisson | OneFootball

At the request of coach Luis Zubeldía, Fluminense formally submitted a proposal to São Paulo on the night of Tuesday (3) to sign midfielder Alisson, who has been sidelined from the tricolor team since his frustrated transfer to rival Corinthians.

The information was initially reported by journalist Victor Lessa, who covers the Rio de Janeiro team on social media, and was confirmed to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR by sources within São Paulo's football management.

According to preliminary information, the offer is for a loan until the end of the season, with Fluminense fully covering the number 25's salary, and a purchase clause set to be triggered upon meeting certain performance targets.

The Tricolor promised to calmly respond to the Rio club over the course of this Wednesday (4).

As the report found, Alisson was requested by Zubeldía, who coached the player during his time at Morumbi. But, unlike what happened with Dorival Júnior in Itaquera, the Argentine coach has not had any contact with the number 25 to try to assist in the negotiation.

Fluminense is the third Brazilian club to approach Alisson since the complications regarding his move to Corinthians. Santos and Vasco also made inquiries to São Paulo, but backed out due to the tricolor’s asking price for the deal: R$ 1.5 million for a one-year loan, with R$ 1 million paid upfront and R$ 500,000 in the second half of the year. Afterwards, if he reaches 25 appearances, even if only playing until halftime, the new club will have to pay just over R$ 1.5 million.

If they want to use him against the Tricolor, they will have to pay a fee of R$ 2 million.

It’s possible that São Paulo will repeat the same terms to the Rio club, perhaps as a way to cool their interest. Alisson was reintegrated into the squad at the request of Rafinha and Hernán Crespo, and while the original plan was to offload him, now it seems the opposite and he is part of the plans for the rest of the season.
