Are Flamengo keen on Memphis Depay? We checked! | OneFootball

Flamengo are not interested in signing Memphis Depay

So far, Flamengo have had a frustrating transfer window. That is because they tried to sign two players and failed to make progress. Now, Memphis Depay has appeared on the radar of four Brazilian clubs, since Corinthians will not renew the striker’s contract.

However, according to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Flamengo are not one of the Brazilian clubs interested in Memphis. According to GE, four Série A clubs that are competing in South American tournaments have contacted the player’s agents.

What happened?

Initially, Memphis and Corinthians had an agreement to renew the contract. However, the São Paulo club chose not to meet some of the striker’s demands. As a result, the player is now open to joining another Brazilian team.

This is because Memphis felt disrespected by members of the Corinthians board. In addition, the player believed that the São Paulo side did not value the effort made to get the contract renewal finalized.

In the meantime, Memphis leaves Corinthians after playing 79 matches. Finally, the striker scored 20 goals and won three titles: the Paulista Championship, the Copa do Brasil, and the Supercopa do Brasil. The player’s contract with the São Paulo club ended on July 31 of this year.

And Flamengo?

With no interest in Memphis, Flamengo remain attentive to the market. That is because the transfer window, which opened on July 20, closes on September 11. Now, the Rubro-Negro are ‘racing against time’ to try to address the squad’s main shortcomings.

Even so, Flamengo remain focused on the Copa Libertadores. This Wednesday (12), the Most Beloved face Cruzeiro in the first leg of the round of 16 of the tournament. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mineirão, in Belo Horizonte.
