On the verge of becoming Brasileirão champions, Corinthians could lose one of their first choice defenders in the January transfer window.
Gil, who started for the national team on Tuesday in the World Cup qualifier against Peru, will receive a proposal from Atlético Madrid in January. The information is from Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola, who also states that the deal would be brokered by Jorge Mendes, one of the most influential businessmen in world football and an old partner of Atlético’s board. 90% of the player’s economic rights belong to the Brazilian club. Gil’s representative in Brazil is Carlos Leite, who has conducted a number of operations with Jorge Mendes, including the sale of Elias to Atlético in 2011. The offer is expected to be in the region of €6 million, and Carlos Leite has admitted that Gil can be sold in January. He said: “I have no concrete proposal for Gil now, but it’s normal that a transfer will happen in January. He is very well now, and he came to play for Brazil.”
