With the high cost to bring the players to the squad, president Mário Bittencourt revealed, in an interview with FluTV, that he is negotiating a financial contribution with club’s master sponsor Betano in order to add the two athletes for the 2022 season. The value was not informed by the Tricolor’s exective.
"We are evaluating this with the technical committee, but I would say that, at this moment, even for financial reasons, it would be one or the other [Goulart and Cano], but we are trying to seek a greater contribution from our master sponsor for 2022. We are in negotiation and I am trying to see if they make an additional contribution for us to bring one more player. If we succeed, it could be both,” he revealed.
However, this agreement for a financial contribution will have to be quick. Ricardo Goulart was to give an answer until this Tuesday (21) about Fluminense's proposal. Also on Tuesday there will be a meeting with Germán Cano to learn about the future of the negotiations.
The agreement between Fluminense and Betano is for two years and will yield at least R$ 16 million to the club.
Betano is an international online sports betting platform of "Kaizen Gaming". In Brazil, the company also sponsors Atlético-MG. In other countries, four other clubs display the Betano brand on their uniforms. They are Braga and Marítimo (Portugal) and FCSB, formerly Steaua Bucharest, and Universitatea Craiova (Romania).
