Flamengo chase Jhon Arias with multi-million offer, claims journalist | OneFootball

Palmeiras is close to completing the signing of Jhon Arias

Flamengo remains active in the transfer market and responded positively to Wolverhampton (ENG), which was preparing to make an offer for Jhon Arias. After the approach from the red-and-black club, Palmeiras made an official offer higher than what the Most Beloved was willing to pay.

According to information from the newspaper O Globo, Flamengo informed Wolverhampton that it would pay 22 million euros (R$ 136.6 million at the current exchange rate) for Jhon Arias. Soon after, Palmeiras felt pressured and offered 25 million euros (R$ 155.2 million).

Thus, this move by Flamengo and Palmeiras complicated the situation for Fluminense. That’s because the team from Laranjeiras has priority to match Brazilian offers, which makes Jhon Arias’s return to Brazil even more contested.

WHAT NOW, FLAMENGO?

At this moment, Palmeiras is ahead in the negotiations. This is because Jhon Arias does not wish to strengthen a Fluminense rival. As a result, he is said to have responded positively to the contract offer from Abel Ferreira’s team.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While the Flamengo board seeks new reinforcements, the red-and-black squad remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. Thus, the team led by Filipe Luís faces Internacional this Wednesday (04), at Maracanã, for the second round of the Brasileirão.

Accordingly, Coluna do Fla brings all the information about the Flamengo match, which kicks off at 7 p.m. (Brasília time). Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson will be at Maracanã to report on the match. Finally, the game will be broadcast by Premiere, via pay-per-view.
