After Alisson’s injury, São Paulo sees an increased urgency for reinforcements and enters the fight with Flamengo for a new signing; see details
Already knowing that he needed reinforcements, the São Paulo intensified the search even further after seeing Alisson have a serious ankle injury confirmed last Wednesday, 17th. Given this, Tricolor entered the dispute with Flamengo for the hiring of Marcos Antoniowhich currently belongs to Laziofrom Italy.
The main obstacle faced by the Rio de Janeiro team since last month is the format of the deal, as the Europeans insist on a definitive sale of the player. Meanwhile, Flamengo is looking for a loan with an option to buy, which is the same plan as São Paulo, but with greater financial compensation.

Meanwhile, Tricolor also continues trying to repatriate Thiago Mendeswhich is in the Al Rayyanfrom Qatar, but the talks with the club have not been encouraging the board either. Marcos Antônio’s age, 24, is also more encouraging than the other option, who is already 32, despite already having a certain identification from his first stint.
In addition to Lazio, Marcos Antônio has played for several other clubs in world football since he was revealed by Athletico-PR. After the promotion to professional, he was sold to Estorilfrom Portugal and also went through Shakhtar Donetsk before arriving in Italy in mid-2022. Last season, he was on loan at PAOKfrom Greece.
