Gonzalo Plata and Matheus Martins landed on Russian soil last Sunday (30) as new signings for Dynamo Moscow, complete with a “Brazilian-style” celebration.

But BOTH failed the medical exams carried out by the club from the Russian capital.

After the news that the former Flamengo forward had not been approved, the same happened to the player who had been playing for Botafogo.

Botafogo disagrees with Dynamo, since Matheus Martins had been playing without restrictions. The club also made its medical department available to provide clarification.

According to O Globo, the club is even considering taking legal action against Dynamo for improper use of the forward’s image at the airport and in the local press. 

Matheus Martins would have brought in 7 million euros (R$ 41.8 million at the current exchange rate) for Botafogo. 

Plata, meanwhile, would be transferred for a fixed 10 million euros (R$ 59.7 million at the current exchange rate), plus another 2 million in possible bonuses.

According to journalist VenĂȘ Casagrande, Plata’s agents even suggested that he initially be sent out on loan.

The purchase would only be completed if Plata played a certain number of matches without having problems with his right knee. 

In addition to selling the Ecuadorian, Flamengo also negotiated Wallace Yan and had already confirmed the replacements: JoaquĂ­n Freitas and Anthony Valencia.
