The agent, however, has already signaled that he will play a tough game against Flamengo. The initial red and black proposal was 30 million euros (R$ 196.7 million), but Pedrinho – as he is popularly called – said that he would not accept negotiating Kaio Jorge for less than 50 million euros (R$ 327 million).
Flamengo made a proposal, and we made another proposal. The proposal that Flamengo made does not satisfy us, which is what the guys said there. To sell Kaio we want 50 million euros. That’s our price.

Inter’s highlight is already agreed
Another national highlight already agreed with Flamengo was defender Vitão, from Internacional. The 25-year-old defender is expected today for medical examinations and, if approved, he will sign a contract until 2029 with Rubro-Negro.
Inter even reached an agreement with Cruzeiro himself for Vitão, but the deal fell apart because defender João Marcelo, involved in the transaction, did not accept being transferred on loan to the club from Rio Grande do Sul.
Bayern ‘rapelled’ rivals in Germany
The strategy of reinforcing itself with highlights from national rivals is an old one at Bayern Munich, since the days of Michael Ballackwho in 2002 left Bayer Leverkusen for the German giants.
