Atlético-MG agreed to hire Igor Gomes, a player from São Paulo whose contract will expire next March; arrival date is undefined
O Atlético-MG added another reinforcement for the 2023 season. Sao Paulo, Igor Gomes, signed a pre-contract with the team from Minas Gerais and should arrive at the club on April 1st, as the bond with the current club comes to an end only on March 31st. Despite the attempt, the Rooster did not get the release before.
At the time of the presentation, the Brazilian calendar will be close to the start of the Libertadores, as the team from Minas only qualified for the preliminary phase of the competition. With the draw defined, Galo will face carabobofrom Venezuela, and if he wins, he faces whoever passes between millionaires and Catholic University.
That Igor Gomes has been in São Paulo since childhood is not news to anyone. However, unfortunately, everything indicates that the passage is ending in Tricolor. In the video below some of those moments: pic.twitter.com/4KVrLMsvVj

Even having tried to get the player back in January, for the start of the season, the team’s management is in no hurry to define the situation since the hiring is taken for granted internally. As previously mentioned, in the worst case scenario he will present himself on the first day of April.
The negotiation with São Paulo is still in progress and Galo even offered 10% of a future sale, despite that Tricolor wants even more, which is not well seen by the miners, thinking they have the pre-contract in their favor. Even without having much negotiating power, due to the proximity of the end of their bond.
Despite this, the relationship between the directors of both clubs narrowed the relationship in this window, with the goalkeeper having already left Rafaelto São Paulo, and the possibility of transfers from Patrick do the opposite. Even so, the difficulty of implementing this change in advance is well known.
