Flamengo map new targets as Luiz Henrique pursuit continues | OneFootball

Flamengo continue to work the market in this window, with additional names emerging alongside long-standing interests in Luiz Henrique and Thiago Almada.

According to Coluna Do Fla, executive José Boto travelled to Argentina on club business amid the wait for a concrete response on Thiago Almada, prompting interest in who might be on the radar.

The club have monitored midfielder Alex Luna of Instituto Córdoba in Argentina. Forward Malcon of Zenit and centre-forward Tiziano Perrotta of Banfield have also been linked.

Flamengo remain focused on signing Luiz Henrique. No official bid has been sent to Zenit, but the player’s entourage has given approval to move negotiations forward.

Agent William Bento is in Rio de Janeiro, with meetings expected as both sides seek common ground before talks with Zenit.

The club have not set a deadline for the Luiz Henrique deal but want progress to be swift. Even if registration for the Libertadores round of 16 closes at 18:00 Brasília time on Friday 7, they do not plan to abandon the pursuit.

On the pitch, Flamengo prepare to face Vitória in the Brasileirão on Sunday 9 at 19:30 Brasília time at the Maracanã.
