Corinthians sign serial winner from Flamengo | OneFootball

Vitinho scored 29 goals for Flamengo and lifted Brasileirão trophies

The forward Vitinho, former player of Flamengo, passed medical exams last Thursday (08) to sign a contract with Corinthians. Thus, the 31-year-old player will have a contract until 2026 to receive about R$ 800,000 and is expected to be announced soon. For the Rubro-Negro, however, the athlete became the most expensive signing and multi-champion for the club.

Vitinho was at Al-Ettifaq (SAU) since 2022 but terminated his contract at the end of last season. Without considering signing bonuses or incentives, Corinthians will not need to spend money on the transfer. Before closing with the São Paulo team, however, the player had talks with Fluminense, but he withdrew.

How much did Vitinho cost Flamengo?

In 2018, the Rubro-Negro invested approximately R$ 50 million to take the player from CSKA Moscow, Russia. At that time, the amount made the transfer the most expensive in the club's and Brazilian football's history. A year later, however, Flamengo surpassed the investment by signing Arrascaeta for about R$ 60 million from Cruzeiro.

What titles did Vitinho win with Mengão?

In 215 games for the club, the forward scored 29 goals and lifted important trophies, such as:

1 Libertadores (2019); 2 Brasileirão Championships (2019, 2020); 1 Copa do Brasil (2022); 2 Supercopa do Brasil (2020, 2021); 1 Recopa Sudamericana (2020); 3 Carioca Championships (2019, 2020, 2021).
