Flamengo entered the fight to sign defender Vitão and went through negotiations between Internacional and Cruzeiro. The proposal has already been accepted by Colorado and the Sporting News explains what is missing for the announcement of the red-black reinforcement.
What’s left for Flamengo to announce defender Vitão?
According to “ge.globo”, Inter accepted Flamengo’s proposal last Friday and the red-black board agreed on the salary bases and the length of the player’s contract. The contract will run until the end of 2029.
The only pending issue, according to journalist Venê Casagrande, is the payment of commission to businesspeople in Vitão. So far, an agreement has not been reached.
The total transaction is around 10 million euros (R$65 million). Flamengo offered Inter, in addition to debt forgiveness for Thiago Maia, to pay the remainder of the amount at stake in cash.
Colorado bought the midfielder for 4 million euros (R$ 21.6 million at the time) in July last year, with payment divided into 10 installments, but has not yet paid any of them. The amount, with correction, would be around 4.7 million euros (R$ 30.6 million).
Inter had forwarded the sale of the player to Cruzeiro, but the negotiation fell through. The defender has been of interest to Flamengo since 2025.
