Gonzalo Plata arrived at Flamengo in August last year

The January transfer window is approaching, and teams, both in Brazil and Europe, have already started planning for the period. Thus, the forward Gonzalo Plata is a target for Cruzeiro and three other clubs in England.

According to the newspaper ‘O Dia’, Gonzalo Plata is also being targeted by Leeds United (ENG), West Ham (ENG), the team of Lucas Paquetá, and Bournemouth (ENG). The clubs remain attentive to the future of the Ecuadorian forward, who has come under scrutiny from some Flamengo fans.

It is worth mentioning that Gonzalo Plata maintained a good relationship with Filipe Luís and received several opportunities since arriving at Flamengo. However, the Ecuadorian’s behavior off the field and his recurring expulsions have caused concern behind the scenes.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE CONCERN ABOUT GONZALO PLATA?

Gonzalo Plata was sent off three times recently in important matches for Flamengo. The Ecuadorian received a red card against Estudiantes (ARG), in the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Shortly after, he was also sent off in the match against Racing (ARG), in the semifinals.

The most recent sending off for Gonzalo Plata was against São Paulo. On that occasion, with one player less, Flamengo ended up conceding a draw to the São Paulo team. Finally, the Ecuadorian player was seen at a party during this troubled period.

WHEN DID GONZALO PLATA ARRIVE AT FLAMENGO?

Flamengo signed Gonzalo Plata in August last year, when the red and black team reached an agreement with Al Sadd (QAT). At the time, Mengo paid around 23 million reais for the Ecuadorian forward.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, with Gonzalo Plata unavailable, as he is with the national team, Flamengo takes the field this Saturday (15th). The red and black team faces Sport at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena de Pernambuco, in a match valid for the 12th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
