Flamengo land a windfall as Shola departs | OneFootball

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

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

Dynamo Kiev had to invest 400 thousand dollars (about R$ 2.1 million at the current exchange rate) to have 50% of the economic rights of Shola. On the other hand, Flamengo chose to keep the other half of the pass of the 20-year-old Nigerian. 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 TRAJECTORY 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, with that, was hired.

From the very first moment, Shola fell into the graces of Flamengo's fans. 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 da América and Club World Cup of the category.

DID FLAMENGO NEGOTIATE ANY OTHER PLAYER 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, from Saudi Arabia, while Lorran is at Pisa (ITA). Finally, Lucas Furtado ended up transferring to Vitória de Guimarães, from Portugal.
