The transfer market remains busy, both in alternative markets like China and at the beginning of the season in Brazil. Shandong Taishan (CHI) made an offer for the defender Lucas Freitas, currently at Vasco and discovered by Flamengo.
According to information from GE, Lucas Freitas received an offer from Shandong, but Vasco was not interested in the terms presented. This is because Flamengo's rival relies on the defender to strengthen the squad and would only consider negotiating if a good offer is made.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese club's proposal was for the defender to sign on loan. Finally, Vasco is discussing terms with Shandong Taishan and is trying to include a purchase obligation in the deal for the former Flamengo player.
Lucas Freitas was discovered by Flamengo and began his journey in the under-15 team. However, the defender did not get opportunities in the red-black team and was negotiated with Valladolid (ESP) while still in the under-20 team. Soon after, the athlete played for Palmeiras, Moreirense (POR), Chapecoense, and Juventude.
Meanwhile, Flamengo, the former club of Lucas Freitas, remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. This is because the red-black team faces Botafogo on Sunday (15), at 5:30 PM (Brasília time), in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Carioca.
