Corinthians extend 18-year-old striker’s deal to 2030 with pay rise | OneFootball

Corinthians continues to renew contracts with young athletes from its youth categories, in reaction to the episode involving Kauê Furquim, who was transferred to Bahia, a Brazilian club in the City Group, after payment of the national termination fine. The latest name was the 18-year-old forward Gui Negão, whose contract extension was officially announced this Saturday, 30, by the club on social media.

The youngster is one of the recent highlights of Alvinegro, having been promoted to the professional starting lineup due to the absences of Yuri Alberto and Memphis, and scoring three goals in the team's last three matches, one in each game: Bahia, Vasco, and Athletico-PR. Now, his contract is valid until June 30, 2030 (three years more than the previous one), with a termination fine set at R$ 140 million for the national market (previously it was R$ 40 million) and 100 million euros (about R$ 634 million) for international transfers.

According to Corinthians' announcement, the agreement also includes goals that could increase the player's earnings and, consequently, the value of the national termination fine, since both values are linked by the General Sports Law, which stipulates the national fine at a maximum of 2,000 times the athlete's salary.

As first reported by journalist Iúri Medeiros, from Itatiaia, such goals are related to the number of games Gui Negão plays in the professional team, with salary increases foreseen when the forward completes five and 15 matches with the Corinthians' main team.

In the absence of Yuri Alberto, who is in the final phase of recovery, Gui Negão is expected to form the Corinthians' offensive duo with Memphis in the classic against Palmeiras this Sunday, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.
