Corinthians rejected a six million euro proposal to sell Hugo Souza. The amount offered by Milan is around R$39 million and Timão would have only R$23 million, an amount considered insufficient to replace.
The goalkeeper guaranteed that he will stay at least until the World Cup. The black and white player understands that if he is called up, he will have greater appreciation.
Corinthians want big bucks for Hugo
As his contract runs until the end of 2029, his fine for teams abroad is around 100 million euros, more than R$600 million. However, it is part of the player’s plans to play in Europe.
Furthermore, as Corinthians only has 60% of the player’s economic rights and the rest belongs to Flamengo, the idea is to break the record for Bento’s transaction to Al Nassr, the biggest deal for a goalkeeper in Brazilian football, which cost more than 18 million euros. Timão understands that 20 million euros, around R$130 million, are needed to sell the archer.
In this scenario, it would be worth more than R$70 million in negotiation, an amount considered sufficient to replace it on the market.
The black and white player is also thinking about taking advantage of the fact that he is valued and can go to next year’s World Cup.
Budgeted sales
Another relevant point is that for 2026, Timão budgets more than R$150 million. There is also a reduction in the amount budgeted for football, which could imply other departures and fewer signings.
