The transfer market remains open, and therefore, clubs are seeking to sign new reinforcements. Not surprisingly, Corinthians and Atlético-MG are trying to buy the full-back Wanderson from Flamengo.
According to information from the FlaBase portal, together with Flazoeiro, Wanderson has caught the attention of Corinthians and Atlético-MG, and there is a strong chance he will leave Flamengo during this transfer window. Currently, the team from Minas Gerais is ahead in the negotiations.
The 18-year-old right-back received a direct call from Jorge Sampaoli in recent days, which helped in the negotiations with Flamengo. For this reason, Atlético-MG is close to finalizing the signing of Wanderson.
In the main team of Flamengo, coach Filipe Luís has two right-backs available. They are: Emerson Royal and Varela. At the start of the season, the players are alternating during matches to gain match fitness.
For the next match of Flamengo, Filipe Luís has yet to decide which right-back will be the starter. The match will be against Sampaio Corrêa at Maracanã, for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The game is scheduled for 9 PM (Brasília time).
