Flamengo push to sign Marcos Antônio from São Paulo | OneFootball

Flamengo’s management is determined to strengthen the midfield and has set its sights on the defensive midfielder Marcos Antônio, currently at São Paulo. According to information from Venê Casagrande, the Red-and-Black’s plan is to acquire the player on a permanent deal, unrelated to the ongoing loan negotiations for midfielder Allan with the São Paulo club.

Marcos Antônio was one of the highlights for Tricolor last season, even amid an inconsistent campaign, and for that reason São Paulo does not intend to make his departure easy.

The club renewed the player’s loan contract until June 2026, with a mandatory purchase clause if certain goals were met—a condition that has already been fulfilled. Thus, São Paulo will acquire the player from Lazio at the end of the temporary deal.

Given this scenario, the São Paulo board is only likely to let go of the midfielder if an irresistible offer is made. Despite the severe financial crisis, the club does not plan to part ways with the player, but an offer considered “out of the ordinary” could change president Julio Casares’ plans.
