Flamengo ‘close to signing’ centre-forward from Argentine league | OneFootball

Flamengo are working on a move to add a centre-forward from the Argentine league, with the deal described as well advanced. According to Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, the operation is viewed as a low-cost bet supported by the club’s scouting.

The player’s numbers are said to be positive and the chances of completion are considered high. The striker’s nationality has not been disclosed, only that he currently plays in Argentina.

Leonardo Jardim’s squad has only two centre-forwards at present, Pedro as the undisputed starter and Wallace Yan as the back-up, used sparingly.

With the transfer window still shut, Flamengo remain focused on their upcoming fixtures.

They face Independiente Medellín away on Thursday 07 in the Copa Libertadores.

ESPN will broadcast the match on pay TV and Disney+ will stream it, with kick-off at 21:30 Brasília time.
