Linked with Flamengo, Jhon Arias makes decision on his future | OneFootball

Palmeiras explores the signing of Jhon Arias

Brazilian clubs continue to focus on the transfer market in search of reinforcements for 2026. Thus, one of the names that appeared on Flamengo's radar was Jhon Arias, former Fluminense player and currently at Wolverhampton (ENG). The player, in fact, has made a decision about his career future.

According to information from ‘ESPN’, Jhon Arias does not wish to return to Brazilian football at this moment. Besides Flamengo, Palmeiras has inquired about the Colombian's situation at Wolves. However, the São Paulo team has also not made an official offer, as they are waiting for a signal from the player.

How much does Wolverhampton want to receive to sell Arias?

It is worth remembering that Wolverhampton bought Jhon Arias for 17 million euros (R$ 110 million) fixed + 5 million euros (R$ 32 million) in performance bonuses. Therefore, the English club wants to recover part of the R$ 110 million invested.

Moreover, another important point is that Fluminense has the right of first refusal in case Jhon Arias returns to Brazil. Thus, Palmeiras or Flamengo need to surpass the competition from the Laranjeiras team if they wish to sign the Colombian.

What is Flamengo's current priority in the market?

At the moment, the main priority for Flamengo is the signing of Lucas Paquetá. A product of the red-black youth academy, the West Ham (ENG) player wishes to return to Brazil and, therefore, has advanced talks with Mengo. The Fla management even has a meeting scheduled with the English team this Friday (16).

Has Flamengo already signed reinforcements for 2026?

Yes! Flamengo has already secured the signing of two players for the 2026 season. Defender Vitão, who wore the Internacional jersey, has arrived to strengthen Filipe Luís's defense, while Andrew is the new goalkeeper for Mengão.
