Pundit loses it, fears Paquetá signing for Flamengo | OneFootball

Representatives from Flamengo and West Ham (ENG) discussed Paquetá’s future this Friday (16th)

Flamengo is making efforts in the transfer window to bring Lucas Paquetá from West Ham (ENG). Thus, representatives met in England this Friday (16th) to continue negotiations. However, in Brazil, members of sports programs fear that the signing will go through.

— Brazilian football runs a serious risk of becoming like the German or French leagues, with one team far above the rest. As much as Palmeiras and Cruzeiro try, Flamengo is going to win the Brasileirão every other year, like clockwork — Ricardinho Martins shouted during the TNT Sports show.

— Who’s the best right-back in the world? It’s Hakimi, right? Soon Flamengo will sign him too. Guys, Flamengo is making a 40 million euro signing (R$ 252 million). This is European level. This isn’t right — the commentator shouted even louder.

Is Ricardinho crazy?

While the host was yelling, the other participants shouted back for the openly Santos-supporting reporter to calm down. The presenter Tayna Espinoza, a Grêmio fan, asked if the professional had lost his mind.

But what’s this story about Flamengo in the German League?

The Bundesliga and Ligue 1 rarely stray from the obvious outcome of Bayern Munich (GER) and PSG (FRA) winning. This happens because the level of investment in quality is vastly different from the rest of the German and French teams.

"

Despite the analogy, the plan of president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, is to turn Flamengo into the “Real Madrid (ESP) of the Americas.” The goal is to align competitiveness, attract stars, and make the Most Beloved a global brand.

And has Flamengo already signed Paquetá?

Although the representatives have met, a new meeting is scheduled for this Saturday (17th). The Rubro-Negro intends to pay 40 million euros (R$ 252 million). Of this amount, 35 million euros will be fixed and 5 million euros in performance bonuses.
