Flamengo could land a massive fee for goalkeeper’s move to Milan | OneFootball

Does Flamengo still hold the economic rights to Hugo Souza?

Hugo Souza gained prominence at Corinthians this season, taking over as the starting goalkeeper. For this reason, Milan (ITA) has shown interest in signing the goalkeeper. Flamengo could therefore benefit from a possible transfer.

According to journalist DiMarzio, Milan is prioritizing the contract renewal of goalkeeper Maignan. However, if the Frenchman does not remain in Milan, the Italian club would be willing to buy the Brazilian keeper.

How much could Flamengo earn from the sale of Hugo Souza?

Currently, Hugo Souza is valued at around 12 million euros (approximately R$ 76 million at the current exchange rate). Thus, if Milan buys the youngster for that amount, Flamengo would be entitled to receive R$ 30.4 million.

This is because, although Flamengo sold Hugo Souza to Corinthians, the club retained 40% of the player’s economic rights. Therefore, the Most Beloved could earn millions if the player is transferred by the São Paulo team.

What was Hugo Souza’s trajectory at Flamengo?

Hugo Souza got his first opportunity with the Flamengo senior team in 2020, when he was just 20 years old. That season, the goalkeeper played in 27 matches. He stayed at Gávea until 2023, when he was loaned to Chaves (POR). Finally, he returned to Brazil to play for Corinthians.
