Corinthians turn down offer for Hugo Souza, Flamengo miss out on millions | OneFootball

Flamengo Still Holds 40% of Hugo Souza's Economic Rights

The Corinthians rejected a million-euro offer from Besiktas, Turkey, for goalkeeper Hugo Souza, who was developed by Flamengo. As a result, the red-black team remains vigilant, as they still hold 40% of the athlete's economic rights.

According to an official statement from OTB Sports, the agency managing Hugo Souza's career, Besiktas (TUR) presented an official proposal. The Turks offered 10 million euros (R$ 63 million at the current exchange rate). However, the offer was rejected.

“The Besiktas offer, recently circulated in the media and presented by OTB to the club on February 4th, is the second proposal rejected by the Corinthians board in recent weeks”, said OTB Sports, in an official statement regarding the goalkeeper.

HOW MUCH CAN FLAMENGO EARN?

Flamengo holds 40% of Hugo Souza's economic rights. Thus, if Corinthians had accepted the 10 million euros (R$ 63 million at the current exchange rate), Mengo would have received 4 million euros (R$ 25.2 million).

HOW MUCH HAS FLAMENGO ALREADY PROFITED FROM HUGO SOUZA?

Corinthians spent a total of R$ 7.3 million for Hugo Souza. This amount includes R$ 1 million for the loan and R$ 1.5 million for the payment of three penalties for the three matches in which the goalkeeper faced Flamengo during the loan period.

Finally, the last part of the deal was R$ 4.8 million. This is because this amount corresponds to the percentage of the athlete's economic rights acquired from Flamengo. Mengão still holds 40% and can profit even more in the future.
