André Franco, a midfielder for FC Porto, is being considered by Flamengo to strengthen their midfield. This information comes from Brazilian media sources. Franco is under contract with Porto until June 2027 and is seen as an alternative if the signing of Carlos Alcaraz from Southampton does not go through.

André Franco may be leaving FC Porto. The 26-year-old midfielder is of interest to Corinthians, according to journalist Thiago Fernandes from the portal GOAL. The former player of Estoril, who lost space this season, having played only 955 minutes in all competitions (23 games), and whose versatility is highly appreciated by the Corinthians' officials, had already been targeted by another Brazilian emblem, Flamengo, in the winter market. The talks between the two clubs for the realization of the business are already underway, but there is still no white smoke. André Franco, remember, has a contract with the blues and whites until June 2027.
