Flamengo's winning year seems to have caught the attention of European football. This is because players Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, Samuel Lino, and Carrascal have sparked interest from at least six European clubs.

According to Coluna do Fla, defender Léo Pereira is on Olympiakos' (GRE) radar. Defender Léo Ortiz is of interest to RB Leipzig (GER). Forward Samuel Lino is being scouted by Benfica (POR) and midfielder Carrascal is being observed by Olympique de Marseille (FRA), Juventus (ITA), and Newcastle (ENG).

Can the clubs already sign players?

The scouting is happening in December, but the transfer window opens on January 6th. However, clubs are moving to define targets and proposals. In the case of Flamengo, the intention is to maintain and strengthen the squad.

Is any Flamengo player for sale?

Among the players that Rubro-Negro is considering negotiating are Michael and Juninho, who had little playing time throughout the year. Defender Cleiton, for example, has already signed a pre-contract with Wolfsburg (GER).

Is Flamengo eyeing anyone?

Flamengo and Grêmio are scouting forward Sebastian Villa from Independiente Rivadavia (ARG), champion of the Copa Argentina this season. According to the Argentine press, Flamengo has already made an offer of 8 million dollars (R$ 42.6 million) for the 29-year-old Colombian.

How is Flamengo doing this season?

The Rubro-Negro delegation is heading to the Middle East to compete in the Intercontinental Cup next week. On Wednesday, at 2 PM (Brasília time), Flamengo faces Cruz Azul (MEX) in the quarter-finals. Thus, the main team's focus is entirely on the international tournament.

Meanwhile, the Under-20 team takes responsibility for the last round of the Brasileirão. Under the command of Bruno Pivetti, the young Crias do Ninho face Mirassol. The team departs for the São Paulo city on the afternoon of this Friday (05).
