Midfielder Renato Augusto, whose status at Corinthians is still undefined, is the subject of transfer probes. The 35-year-old player has a contract with Timão only until the end of the year, but he has not yet been contacted by the club’s new board of directors to extend his contract, while representatives of other teams have already contacted Renato’s staff to show interest .
Renato is annoyed by how things are going in Timão. The report of Gazzetta dello Sport ascertained that, in addition to not having been contacted by Augusto Melo and his associates, the player did not receive any notification from coach Mano Menezes, who had chosen him as a starter until the end of the Brazilian championship.
Renato therefore went on holiday without having the slightest idea of the intentions of the club and the technical staff regarding his future.
Another reason for discomfort for number 8 is the alleged news spread on social media. Some of them claim that Renato rejected renewal proposals which, in fact, never reached the athlete. Renato and his staff understand that behind the scenes there are bad guys willing to turn the player against the Corinthians fans.
It is in this scenario that the player begins to receive requests from other clubs. Renato, however, still has Corinthians as a priority to play at least another season. He wants to understand if Corinthians intend to count on him in 2024 before opening any negotiations.
A Gazzetta dello Sport discovered that, at this moment, the tendency is for Corinthians to opt for non-renewal of the contract. Augusto Melo, however, is participating in meetings with Mano Menezes and, consequently, understanding what the coach thinks for next season.
In 2023 the number 8 played 45 games, of which 35 as a starter. The 35-year-old has scored six goals and distributed 10 assists, being the team’s main waiter this season.
