Internacional authorized the search for external offers for Alan Patrick and his departure is gaining momentum for the July window, reported journalist Juliano Machado. The 35‑year‑old midfielder, whose contract runs until December 2027, is no longer an undisputed starter under Paulo Pezzolano.

Why is Alan Patrick out of the plan?

A dip in form and the demand for higher physical intensity led the coach to limit Alan Patrick's minutes. In the 2024‑25 season, the number 10 featured in 23 matches and scored five goals, yet he was omitted from the lineup in several recent rounds. Moreover, his nearly R$ 2 million monthly wage ranks among the highest in the squad, pressuring the board to rethink the payroll.

What is the club looking for in the market?

The board already contacts agent André Cury, who represents Alan Patrick, to open the player to overseas proposals. At the same time, Internacional monitors options that could replenish midfield creativity. One name mentioned is Calebe from Fortaleza, praised for his versatility and ability to play multiple attacking roles, though he is not seen as a direct replacement.

How could the exit affect finances?

If the transfer materializes, Internacional will free up space to invest in players better suited to Pezzolano's system. Cutting one of the largest salaries creates room for signings with lower cost, boosting the team's competitiveness for the remainder of the campaign.

What comes next?

The board awaits concrete offers in the coming weeks while keeping Alan Patrick on the pitch until a deal is sealed. The club emphasizes that the negotiation aims to balance financial and sporting aspects, preparing Internacional for the challenges ahead in the second half of the league.
