Santos is advancing in negotiations for the loan of midfielder Victor Hugo from Flamengo. The parties are discussing a contract until December 2026. According to sources, only a few details remain before the 21-year-old becomes a new player for Santos. Negotiations with Flamengo started last week, cooled down but then progressed towards completion. Santos has until Tuesday to finalize the agreement and register the player, as the transfer window closes on September 2.

Santos has shown interest in acquiring Victor Hugo on a loan deal. Alexandre Mattos, the director of football at Santos, reached out to José Boto, the executive director of Flamengo, to start negotiations. However, Santos considers the deal to be challenging. Victor Hugo, a young talent from Flamengo, has not been utilized by coach Filipe Luís and is viewed as a potential reinforcement for Santos following the appointment of Argentine coach Vojvoda. Initially, Flamengo had agreed to allow Victor Hugo to leave without financial compensation while retaining 50% of his economic rights, but due to negative repercussions, they have now demanded financial involvement, which has stalled the negotiations. Furthermore, Famalicão from Portugal has expressed interest in Hugo, whose contract runs until the end of 2028. The Brazilian transfer window closes on September 2, imposing a time constraint on the negotiations.
