Corinthians close in on loan deal for Flamengo midfielder | OneFootball

Talks between Corinthians and Flamengo regarding midfielder Allan have taken a turn. In recent days, negotiations had cooled off, but they progressed this Saturday, and the São Paulo team has arranged the loan of the midfielder.

Corinthians has been monitoring Allan’s situation since January, but ran into Flamengo’s financial demands to release the player on loan. However, after a new approach from Timão, the clubs reached an agreement.

The information about Allan’s loan to Corinthians was initially reported by Venê Casagrande and later confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

No room at Flamengo

Allan joined Flamengo in 2023, after a stint at Atlético-MG. Although he was given opportunities at the start of his time with the Rubro-Negro, he lost his place with the arrival of Filipe Luís.

In the last season, the midfielder played only 33 of Flamengo’s 78 matches. In this transfer window, the player also attracted interest from Corinthians, São Paulo, and Vasco.

Corinthians active in the market

If Allan’s arrival is confirmed, he will be Corinthians’ fifth signing for 2026. So far, Timão has already announced defender Gabriel Paulista, midfielder Matheus Pereira, full-back Pedro Milans, and winger Kaio César.

The Alvinegro even negotiated the loan of midfielder Alisson from São Paulo, but the deal did not go through. The club also arranged for the arrival of young forward Kayky from Bahia, but the transfer ultimately did not materialize.

Despite being active in the market, the Corinthians board maintains a recruitment policy without major investments, prioritizing free agents or loans. The Alvinegro does not intend to spend large amounts to strengthen the squad.
