Arias rejects Flamengo, stays loyal to Fluminense | OneFootball

Determined to leave England and return to Brazilian football, Jhon Arias turned down an offer from Flamengo, which offered 22 million euros (R$ 136 million) to Wolverhampton.

According to the newspaper O Globo, the offer from the Rubro-Negro was sent before the signing of Lucas Paquetá was finalized. The Colombian, however, was not thrilled with the idea of playing for a direct rival of Fluminense.

At the moment, Arias is closer to Palmeiras, which has reached an agreement with Wolverhampton. Since Fluminense has a purchase priority for the player as stipulated in the contract, they have been notified and are considering options to match the 25 million euros (R$ 154 million) offer from the São Paulo team. However, the deadline is three days.
