Maycon’s reasons for rejecting Flamengo and staying at Corinthians


Volante had a proposal from Rubro-Negro, but the affection for Timão and the request of his family meant that he stayed at Parque São Jorge




Midfielder Maycon has decided to reject Flamengo’s offer and will remain at Corinthians in 2024. On loan to Shakhtar Donetsk, from Ukraine, he has received an offer to sign, on a permanent basis, with Rubro-Negro, a four-year contract. Even so, he decided to refuse the invitation and stay at the Parque São Jorge club. However, the player’s decision to stay at Timão was based on three factors.

The first is the struggle for property. After all, the player is enjoying himself at Corinthians and has scored two goals and two assists so far this season. Maycon thus understands that he will be able to have a great year with the black and white shirt. At Flamengo the midfielder would fight for space and would hardly be a starter in a midfield that is already consolidating at Rubro-Negro.

Additionally, Maycon heard from the Corinthians board a promise to pay off the club’s million-dollar debt to him. There are 11 months of outstanding image rights, which could be used by the player to have his contract terminated and look for another team. The player has great affection for Timão and preferred to find an amicable agreement to receive what he owed.

Finally, the driver heard from his family members not to move to another city at this time. Completely adapted to San Paolo, the player responded to a request from his wife and her children. This desire was a fundamental factor in staying at Corinthians.

Maycon’s second spell at Corinthians

Created by Corinthians, Maycon has been on loan at the club since 2022. After a period of injuries and lack of offers at the end of that year, his loan ended up being renewed for another season. In this way Timão paid 500 thousand euros, at the time approximately R$ 2.8 million. In 2023, in fact, he participated in 57 matches and scored three goals. This season there have been two goals and two assists, in 11 games.
