What was the provocation made by West Ham (ENG) to Flamengo?


West Ham (ENG) announced this Monday (05) the signing of forward Taty Castellanos. After announcing the arrival of the player, the English team used a social media post to provoke Flamengo.

"The target is theirs, he is ours. Welcome to West Ham, Taty Castellanos", said the English team in a post on ‘Instagram’. Along with the phrase, the English team shared a photo of the new signing wearing the club's jersey.

WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR WEST HAM'S PROVOCATION TO FLAMENGO?

It is important to note that West Ham took the opportunity to make this indirect remark to Flamengo, considering that the Rubro-Negro sought information about Taty Castellanos during the transfer window. According to the report from Coluna do Fla, José Boto contacted representatives to inquire about the forward.

However, it is worth noting that the negotiation did not progress beyond the initial stage between Flamengo and Lazio (ITA), which held the player's economic rights. Thus, the Rubro-Negro did not even make an official offer to try to sign Taty Castellanos.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S PRIORITY FOR THE ATTACK IN THIS TRANSFER WINDOW?

While Taty Castellanos is in a ‘new home’, Flamengo has identified Kaio Jorge as a priority for the attack in this transfer window. However, the Minas Gerais team seems adamant about negotiating the player with Mengão.

So far, Flamengo has made official offers, with the latest reaching values exceeding 30 million euros (around R$ 190 million at the current exchange rate). Despite this situation, Cruzeiro did not accept. Finally, names like Marcos Leonardo from Al Hilal (SAU), Deivid Washington from Chelsea (ENG), and Kauã Elias from Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) are on the radar.
