Since the termination with VaideBet, Corinthians is cautious in the search for a new master sponsor for his uniform. The urgency is evident, but the club adopts a meticulous stance when negotiating with various betting houses.
One of the main precautions is the requirement that there should be no intermediaries in the negotiations. O Corinthians seeks to ensure that all treatatives are direct between the club and the company, aiming at greater transparency and legal certainty.
Another point of attention is the regulation of betting houses in Brazil, which will enter into force in January 2025. The club is anticipating to ensure that any deal is in line with the new rules, avoiding future legal complications.
The tenders received by the Corinthians are being thoroughly analyzed by the legal department, led by Leonardo Pantaleão. One of the offers has already been barred due to identified irregularities. The club expects to get values similar to those paid by VaideBet, who were from R$120 million annually.
An advanced proposal is from Parimatch, which suggests increasing values over the seasons. In addition, President Augusto Melo mentions being in negotiation with another company, not yet revealed.
The caution of Corinthians reflects the importance of ensuring a solid and advantageous sponsorship that can bring financial stability to the club. The final decision will be made on the basis of a careful analysis of all the conditions presented by the companies concerned.
