According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Plata is having difficulty adapting to Leonardo Jardim’s style of play. Given this scenario, Flamengo is not ruling out negotiating the forward’s transfer if it receives an offer deemed attractive after the 2026 World Cup. It is worth noting that the Ecuadorian is under contract with Mengão until June 2029.

What is Gonzalo Plata’s situation at Flamengo?

Overall, Plata has made 82 appearances, scored eight goals and provided 10 assists in a Flamengo shirt, a club he has represented since the second half of 2024. However, after Leonardo Jardim’s arrival, the forward came on in the final minutes in only two of the five matches under the new coach.

Did Leonardo Jardim explain why he left Plata out of the Flamengo vs Corinthians match?

Yes! After the 1-1 draw with Corinthians on Sunday (22), Leonardo Jardim commented on the decision to leave Gonzalo Plata out of the squad list. Thus, the Portuguese manager explained that the forward is not managing to adapt to the new style of play.

He is a player who is having difficulties integrating, broad integration, so at this moment to play for Flamengo it is necessary to be well integrated. We need concentration, attitude, and a great physical commitment to fight for results,” said Leonardo Jardim in a press conference.

Was Gonzalo Plata called up by Ecuador?

Going through a complicated situation at Flamengo, Gonzalo Plata will have some time to clear his head. That is because the forward is available for Ecuador’s next two friendlies during this FIFA international window. Ecuador will face Morocco on the 27th in Spain, before taking on the Netherlands on the 31st on Dutch soil.
