Done deal! Gonzalo Plata heads to Russia after Benfica man snubs Dynamo | OneFootball

Gonzalo Plata is on his way out of Flamengo to strengthen Dynamo Moscow in Russia. The final details of the deal were agreed on Thursday night, and the former Sporting player is not expected to wear the “Mengão” shirt again.

The 25-year-old winger is expected to arrive in Russia on Saturday, when he should undergo medical tests and sign a contract with the capital club. Flamengo are expected to receive around €12 million for the transfer of the Ecuador international.

Dynamo Moscow’s interest in Gonzalo Plata emerged after Dodi Lukebakio turned down an offer from the Russian club, according to Glorioso 1904. The Benfica winger received an approach in recent days to leave the Luz in this summer transfer window.

The offer made by the Russian club included very attractive salary conditions for Dodi Lukebakio. Despite the figures involved in the negotiations between the parties, the Belgium international decided not to accept the offer.

The decision is mainly related to the current situation in Russian football. With clubs from that country barred from UEFA European competitions due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, Lukebakio believes the move would seriously harm his media visibility and his continued inclusion in the Belgium national team squad.
