After the defeat in Santos last Sunday (16), Flamengo intensified their performance in the transfers market, in particular to strengthen the sector in midfield, who recently lost Gerson, sold to Zenit. The Board of Directors of Rio de Janeiro began negotiations with Spartak Moscow of Russia and presented a proposal of 15 million euros (about $ 96 million) from Argentino Esquiel Boat, currently 26.
Despite the significant amount, the initial offer was rejected by the Russian club. The negative led Flamengo to re -evaluate the situation and consider a more aggressive attack. According to the information released on Thursday (18), the new proposal is around 17 million euros, equivalent to about 110 million dollars, exceeding Spartak’s initial request and reporting the arrangement of the Rio Club to close the agreement.
The Council includes that the reinforcement has become even more urgent, especially after the obstacles to negotiations with Jorge Carrasal, also a midfielder and player of Dynamo Mosca. The Colombian was close to a success, but the requests for banking guarantees by the Russians made the process difficult.
However, Carrascal’s hiring was completed later, which did not prevent the club from following the attempt to arrive on the boat. The current strategy reveals the intention of incorporating two athletes into the same function in the cast of Filipe Luís, which initially was not expected. The movement indicates a change of posture in the mid -year transfer window, which is still open until September 2.
In the meantime, the red black dome also maintains the monitoring of Lucas Paquetá and Anderson Talisca. The first is treated as an ideal name for the creative sector, but the judicial situation involving sports betting prevents progress until the conclusion of the trial in England, scheduled for August. Conversations with Talisca are still in the preliminary phase.
Behind the scenes, the journalist Jorge Nicola commented on the situation: “The name of the dreams is Lucas Paquetá, but can only advance after the result of the trial has come out”.
On the field, Flamengo returns to work for Brazilirão in the classic against Fluminense, Sunday (20), at 19:30 (Time of Brasilia), in Maracanã. With the recent defeat for Santos, the team has fallen to second place, obsolete from Cruzeiro, who now leads with 30 points.
In the last season of the Russian championship, Esquiel Boat added 27 games, with 12 goals and seven assists, numbers that attracted Flamengo’s attention and justifies the effort of the Board of Directors to achieve hiring.
