On Tuesday (5), midfielder Maycon decided to stay at Corinthians and turned down the purchase proposal made by Flamengo.The midfielder is on loan at Timão until the end of 2024, but belongs to Ukraine’s Shaktar Donetsk until the end of 2026.

Rubro-negro offered a four-year contract and the purchase of Maycon’s economic rights, at the request of coach Tite.Although he wanted to withdraw from his contract with the Ukrainian club, the player saw staying at Timão as the best option at the moment, because of three different fronts: professional, financial and personal.
On the professional front, the player has found his form again with the arrival of coach António Oliveira. The alvinegro squad is undergoing reconstruction and the midfielder’s first-team status and good numbers in recent games have helped the decision.
In addition, Maycon was promised the settlement of a million-dollar debt owed to him by the club after talks with the board. There are 11 months of overdue image rights, something that could be used by the player to get a release from his contract to look for another team.
However, the bond of affection with Corinthians and the understanding of the current financial situation experienced internally made Maycon look for an amicable settlement with the club, without the thought of going to court.
Finally, the last point that made Maycon stay was the family issue. Completely adapted to São Paulo, the player complied with a request from his wife and children to avoid moving to another city at the moment.
