Napoli recently entered the race to sign the 19-year-old, monitoring the situation closely to try and overcome direct competition from Milan and Atlético from Madrid.

The Corinthians board observes the athlete’s appreciation with caution after having vetoed a previous departure. Há A few months ago, president Osmar Stabile interrupted a negotiation worth around 17 million euros, equivalent to around R$102.5 million. Agora, the scenario has changed and the São Paulo club admits the need to make significant sales to meet the financial goals established for the 2026 season.

Milan appears, at the moment, as the most advanced interested party in an attempt to close with the midfielder. The Milão club signaled that it accepts paying up to 22 million euros, which represents approximately R$133 million at the current price. The business model proposed by the Italians divides the total amount to guarantee the financial security of the operation and the achievement of performance targets.

  • 18 million fixed euros paid immediately to Corinthians.
  • 4 million additional euros conditional on sporting objectives achieved.
  • Manutenção 30% of economic rights with the player or future partners.
  • Long-lasting Contrato for the European market.

André has a contract with Timão until December 2029, which gives the Brazilian club a margin of safety in negotiations.

Postura of André and Financial Planning of Corinthians

André has already communicated to its representatives and the board that it wishes to work for Europa, but reinforced that it does not intend to force a troubled exit from the club that revealed it. Para facilitates the deal, the young man would be willing to give up his 30% share of the economic rights, allowing Corinthians to receive a larger slice of the financial pie.

The sale of players is treated as an absolute priority by Osmar Stabile’s management this semester. Além from André, the name Breno Bidon also appears on the list of athletes with high resale potential for the foreign market. The club needs to balance its cash flow and sees young talents as the quickest solution to clearing immediate debts.

Desempenho on the field sustains interest from foreign clubs

Desde who moved up to the professional team, André established himself as a fundamental piece in the transition between defense and attack. Madrid’s refined technique and marking ability caught the attention of scouts from Atlético, who still keep the player under constant observation. The recent controversy involving an expulsion for an obscene gesture did not diminish the athlete’s prestige with European clubs, who see the episode as an isolated act of immaturity.

The Corinthians technical committee works to maintain the player’s focus on Campeonato Brasileiro and the continental cups. The use of the midfielder has been high, and his absence due to a possible sale will require an immediate replacement in the squad. The club has not yet decided whether it will look for a replacement on the national market or whether it will promote another young player from the base to fill the André spot if the transfer to Napoli or Milan takes place in July.
