One of the main revelations from Corinthians' youth categories in recent seasons and star of the 2024 Copa São Paulo, midfielder Breno Bidon continues to increase in market value and attract interest from foreign clubs. However, as Central do Timão has learned, the club's leadership does not intend to facilitate a potential departure of the player.

Additionally, the report also found that the club has not received formal offers for the young player. But in case of proposals, the club from Parque São Jorge relies on the release clauses in the athlete's contract, should there be a departure: R$ 370 million for Brazilian teams and 100 million euros (about R$ 628 million) for foreign clubs.

In recent days, there has been speculation about Flamengo's interest. According to information from Rádio Tupi, the Rio de Janeiro team would be signaling an offer of 15 million euros (R$ 95 million) to acquire the player – a value considerably below the national release clause stipulated in his contract.

In recent months, the number 27 has been monitored by teams such as Napoli (Italy), Manchester United (England), PSV (Netherlands), and Sporting (Portugal). It is worth remembering that his contract with Corinthians ends in December 2029. Promoted to the professional squad in March 2024, the 20-year-old athlete has since become one of the pillars of the club.

Breno Bidon was a starter and an important piece in Corinthians' surge in the 2024 Brazilian Championship, in addition to being a starter and having a high degree of prominence in the victories of the 2025 Paulista Championship and Brazil Cup, against Palmeiras and Vasco, respectively.

In the decision against the Rio de Janeiro team, the number 27 performed a stunning dribble on midfielder Caio Barros, in a play that led to Corinthians' second goal, scored by Memphis Depay. The move generated international repercussion, with fans of European teams being impressed by the play, given its level of difficulty.

For Corinthians' professional team, Breno Bidon has accumulated two goals and three assists in 101 matches (77 as a starter). For Corinthians' Under-17 and Under-20 teams, he scored 14 goals in 118 games, with 77 wins, 21 draws, and 20 losses. Besides the 2024 Copinha, he was a standout in the youth categories in the victory of the 2021 Under-17 Paulista Championship against Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque.
