Flamengo clear up Dynamo Moscow's approach for Plata

What did Flamengo say about Gonzalo Plata’s situation?

Flamengo released an official statement on Tuesday night (01) regarding Plata failing Dynamo Moscow’s (RUS) medical examinations. In the club’s view, the Ecuadorian forward has no history of surgeries and, furthermore, Flamengo said it will seek appropriate measures to punish the Russian team for the way it treated the player.

Contrary to what has been published by some media outlets, the Medical Department of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo clarifies that: Gonzalo Plata is fit to play high-performance football, had been playing normally for Flamengo and the Ecuadorian national team, and has no history of surgeries, fractures, or any serious chronic condition. For this reason, Flamengo’s Medical Department received with absolute surprise and skepticism the information that the athlete did not meet the medical parameters established by Dynamo Moscow. Flamengo will spare no effort in seeking the appropriate reparations in light of the neglect and devaluation imposed on the club and its player. What Flamengo and Botafogo experienced this Tuesday is the result of the amateurism and irresponsibility shown by Dynamo Moscow in the outcome of the negotiations. May this episode serve as a warning to all of Brazilian football.

Gonzalo Plata, who has already won the CONMEBOL Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, Brasileirão, Supercopa Rei, and Cariocão with Flamengo, will be welcomed back with open arms to continue his successful journey with the club.

WHAT HAPPENED TO PLATA AT DYNAMO MOSCOW?

Plata came very close to becoming Dynamo Moscow’s newest player. Last Sunday (30), the Ecuadorian arrived in Russia to undergo medical examinations before signing a contract.

That was when the deal fell through. According to the Russians’ diagnosis, Gonzalo Plata showed clinical issues, and as a result, the agreement between Flamengo and Dynamo Moscow, which was close to R$72 million at the current exchange rate, came to an end.

WHAT WILL PLATA’S SITUATION BE WHEN HE RETURNS TO FLAMENGO?

After the breakdown of the deal, Plata is now preparing to return to Flamengo. His return to the Rubro-Negro will take place later this week. However, it is worth noting that amid this possible departure of the Ecuadorian, Mengo signed forwards Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Plata returns, Flamengo takes the field this Wednesday (02) to face Mirassol in the Brasileirão. In short, the match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
