Flamengo land a multi-million windfall as Shola departs | OneFootball

How much did Flamengo receive to release Shola to Dynamo Kyiv, Ukraine?

Flamengo traded some players from the youth categories in this transfer window. One of them was the striker Shola, who will play for Dynamo Kyiv, Ukraine. To have the player, the Ukrainian team had to pay R$ 2.1 million to Mengão.

Dynamo Kyiv had to invest 400 thousand dollars (about R$ 2.1 million at the current exchange rate) to have 50% of Shola's economic rights. On the other hand, Flamengo chose to keep the other half of the 20-year-old Nigerian's pass. The player's contract with the new club is valid for four seasons, that is, until 2029. The information is from journalist Venê Casagrande and confirmed by the report of Coluna do Fla.

WHAT WAS SHOLA'S JOURNEY AT FLAMENGO?

Shola was one of the main bets that Flamengo had made in the market for the youth categories. At the time, the player caught the attention of the club's scout by standing out in the Viarregio Cup 2022 and, therefore, was hired.

From the first moment, Shola won over the fans of Flamengo. In addition, the Nigerian managed to put in good performances and establish himself in the under-20 team. However, over time, the athlete was losing space and became an option on the bench before leaving the Rubro-Negro. Finally, the player participated in important achievements of Mengão, among them, two Libertadores of America and Club World Cup of the category.

DID FLAMENGO TRADE ANY OTHER PLAYERS FROM THE YOUTH CATEGORIES?

In addition to Shola, Flamengo ended up doing a 'clean up' in the under-20 team. That's because, Matheus Gonçalves went to Al Ahli, Saudi Arabia, while Lorran is at Pisa (ITA). Finally, Lucas Furtado ended up transferring to Vitória de Guimarães, Portugal.
