Botafogo owes millions to Flamengo target | OneFootball

Which Flamengo target is owed money by Botafogo?

Flamengo sounded out the signing of Thiago Almada, who is at Atlético de Madrid (Spain). The midfielder, in fact, is owed a million-dollar amount by Botafogo, the Argentine player’s former club.

According to GE, Botafogo is drowning in debt, and one of those debts is to Thiago Almada. The black-and-white club owes the midfielder R$ 2.5 million. Because of the overdue debts, Flamengo’s rival is unable to buy and register new players.

Did Flamengo sound out Almada’s signing?

Yes! Flamengo got in touch with Almada to try to open negotiations with the midfielder. However, the Argentine said he does not intend to return to South American football at the moment, as he wants to remain in Europe.

Did another club sound out Almada’s signing?

Besides Flamengo, River Plate also showed interest in signing Thiago Almada. However, the midfielder told the Argentine team the same thing: that he does not intend to play in South America at the moment.

What is Flamengo’s priority in the market?

Flamengo has two priorities in the transfer market. First, the Rubro-Negro club is looking to sign a center forward to serve as backup for Pedro. In addition, an attacking midfielder who can play in place of Arrascaeta is also on the list.

At the moment, Flamengo does not see the search for a left back in the transfer market as a priority. However, if a good opportunity arises, the Rubro-Negro club does not rule out making an offer.
