Corinthians announces the definitive purchase of goalkeeper Hugo Souza, formalizing a four-year contract, which had the support of the sponsor Esportes da Sorte. The player's continuity would not be possible without the company's contribution, officially legalized to operate in the country by authorization from the Ministry of Finance.
Esportes da Sorte signed a sponsorship agreement with Timão in July this year, for a three-year contract, and also made a financial contribution for the hiring of one of the team's main stars currently, the forward Memphis Depay.
In addition, the platform has been carrying out different activations with the fans, such as the delivery of headbands that the Dutch player wears during the games, as well as other actions on game days, such as direct interactions with the public that goes to Neo Química Arena.
"We have always said that we would be much more than a name on the shirt of Corinthians, and supporting this significant hiring only reinforces this commitment, that we really walk together. We have a total interest in seeing Timão achieving more and more positive results and delivering many joys to this very loyal fan,” explains Sofia Aldin, CMO of Esportes da Sorte.
"Being with Corinthians and enabling the hiring of goalkeeper Hugo shows our commitment not only to support the club's objectives, working to achieve increasingly positive results, but also demonstrates the relevance of Brazilian football to our business," concludes Ícaro Quinteiro, COO of Esportes da Sorte.
Hugo arrived at Corinthians at the beginning of July and has been one of the highlights of the team this season, with 31 games played so far. The goalkeeper thanked the club's trust and made clear the emotion for the permanence.
“I am very happy, it is an inexplicable, indescribable feeling, I was very anxious for this moment, anxious for it to materialize so just thank God first, to the president, to Fabinho, to the entire board of Corinthians who always strived and worked for this to happen, to the whole group, to all staff, to everything that involves this Club,” celebrates the goalkeeper Hugo Souza.
"To this crowd I want to thank for all the affection, since I arrived here. Very happy to stay here, I am fulfilling a dream, let's go together to conquer a great story, to make a great story together,” added the player.
“Today we have come to the end of a very important negotiation for us, we had already guaranteed to the fans that everything was right, but now we can make it clear that Hugo is Corinthians' goalkeeper. I thank the dedication of my entire board to conclude this contract and also to our partners, like Esportes da Sorte, who embarked on this,” says Augusto Melo, president of Corinthians.
"We are making the Corinthians brand more valuable and partnerships like these are what show the appreciation of this. Now our fans can rest easy,” concludes Melo.
