Part 3/7:
Recently, Flamengo demonstrated interest in acquiring Vitão, a defender from Internacional, proposing €10 million. However, Internacional is adamant about receiving €14 million, comprising their existing debt related to a previous transfer involving Thiago Maia. This negotiation underscores the intricate dance of debt and transfer dealings within Brazilian football.
Flamengo's situation reflects a broader trend as clubs must consider not just player value, but also existing debts when negotiating transfers. Internacional’s approach mirrors that of an airline ticket vendor, where the costs seem calculated and inflated based on previous debts rather than the player’s market value.
