The second 2026 transfer window is nearing its end, and clubs are still looking for reinforcements for the rest of the season. It is no surprise, then, that Dynamo Moscow (RUS) is interested in signing Gonzalo Plata, a Flamengo forward.
Flamengo and Dynamo Moscow are in active talks, and the Russian club is willing to invest between 10 million and 12 million euros (between R$ 60 million and R$ 72 million). However, the Rubro-Negro does not see that amount as ideal and, for that reason, Plata’s departure is not close to being finalized. The information was reported by the Russian outlet Sport24 and confirmed by reporter Nathalia Coelho of Coluna do Fla.
It is worth noting that the second 2026 transfer window opened on July 20 and closes on September 11. In other words, Flamengo has about three weeks to decide Gonzalo Plata’s future.
“Gonzalo Plata is a useful player for Flamengo’s squad. However, if the Russian club’s offer reaches the figures desired by the Rubro-Negro, the board needs to sell the Ecuadorian. The money could be used to sign a player who would make a bigger impact in the final stretch of Mengão’s season,” said Davi Esteves, a journalist for Coluna do Fla.
Plata joined Flamengo in the 2024 transfer window, coming from Al-Saad of Qatar. Over the course of the entire deal, the Rubro-Negro invested around R$ 53 million to acquire 100% of the player’s economic rights. Finally, the forward’s contract with Mengo runs until August 2029.
Since arriving at Flamengo, Plata has made 100 appearances in the red-and-black shirt. During that span, the Ecuadorian has recorded nine goals and 14 assists for his teammates.
With Plata available, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Sunday (30), when it faces Botafogo. The Rio derby will take place at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.
