The economics of joining a team like Corinthians adds another layer of complexity. With reported debts of approximately 3 billion, the financial constraints mean that even a player of Luiz's caliber has to consider a significant salary cut—if he hopes to don the Corinthians jersey. The pundits note that Luiz was earning around 1.5 million in Flamengo, a figure that seems unattainable under the current circumstances at Corinthians.
Moreover, the traditional perception of footballers as commodities complicates the narrative. It reduces human beings with multidimensional experiences to mere statistics and value propositions, neglecting the emotional psyche that accompanies such career decisions.
