O Corinthians is close to hitting the sale of the left-side Denner16 years old, Chelsea. The business, which can be closed in a meeting on Wednesday, is being aligned at 12.5 million euros (about R$ 76.3 million). The amount includes 8 million fixed euros for Timon and another 4.5 million in bonuses if the player meets established goals.
Even with the sale under way, Denner can only act by Chelsea After turning 18 in February 2026.
Pressure for business
Initially, the Corinthian board did not want to negotiate the young side at this time. However, the club realized a real risk of losing the player to another Brazilian team for a much lower value. Since last year, Timon has been trying to renew Denner's contract by offering a wage increase, but dealings with his representatives have not advanced.
The side is scheduled by Giuliano Bertolucci, influential entrepreneur in the European market and who has about R$ 78 million Corinthians. According to internal sources, the club spent months trying to settle, but received the response that negotiations would only take place after the Cup. Sao Paulo Junior Football.
Given this scenario and the proposal of the Chelsea, the alvinegra board saw itself in a delicate position and chose to proceed with the sale.
Future Promising
Denner is considered one of the main promises of the Corinthian base and has as one of the main mentors his cousin Gabriel Magellan, defender of the Arsenal and the Brazilian team. His style of play caught the attention of several European clubs, but the Chelsea was the first to formalize a concrete proposal.
With negotiations close to an outcome, the Corinthians seeks to balance the accounts and avoid the loss of promising talents without due financial return. If the deal is done, Denner will continue at the club until his departure to England in 2026, and can be used in the base categories or even in the professional cast of Timão.
