Flamengo published an official statement this Wednesday (01) reporting Almería’s (ESP) failure to pay in relation to the transfer of Lázaro. The Spanish team, however, mocked the Rubro-Negro on social media.
“Publishing a statement as if the verdict had already been declared, while the case is still in court… What confidence! Or is this an April Fools’ Day joke?”, Almería posted.
Almería owes 1.8 million euros (approximately R$ 10 million) to Flamengo for the purchase of Lázaro. So far, in this situation, the Spanish team has not made the payment to the Rubro-Negro.
Flamengo sold Lázaro in the 2022 season for 7 million euros (R$ 36 million at the time) and kept 30% of the attacking midfielder’s economic rights. This year, the Spanish team then transferred the player for 5 million euros (around R$ 32 million) to Al-Najma (SAU).
Lázaro was promoted to the Flamengo first team in the 2020 season. With the senior squad, the attacking midfielder played 62 matches, scoring eight goals. In addition, the player provided eight assists for his teammates.
