Flamengo set date for Gonzalo Plata's return to Rio de Janeiro | OneFootball

Coluna do Fla has learned that the Ecuadorian will arrive in Rio while Fla are in Belém

Gonzalo Plata arrives in Rio de Janeiro this Sunday (06). Reporter Léo José, from Coluna do Fla, has learned that the Ecuadorian forward will travel on Saturday (05) and land the following day. The player was in Russia, where he failed the medical exams at Dynamo Moscow (RUS).

Why was Plata in Russia?

The player was in Russia to sign a contract with Dynamo Moscow (RUS). However, the deal did not go through after he failed the Russian club’s medical exams. As a result, Plata returns to Flamengo without completing the transfer to European football.

How much did Flamengo miss out on with Plata’s failed transfer?

Flamengo missed out on receiving R$ 60 million, and up to R$ 72 million including bonuses. As a result, Botafogo also lost out with Dynamo, which rejected Matheus Martin in the same way.

Plata arrives on Sunday, but Flamengo will be in Belém

The date of Plata’s arrival coincides exactly with the day of the match between Flamengo and Remo. Therefore, the rubro-negro squad will be in Belém, at Mangueirão, during the forward’s arrival in Rio de Janeiro.

In this way, the separate arrival reinforces the isolated nature of the Ecuadorian’s reintegration into the rest of the squad. However, the expectation is that Plata will resume his routine at the Ninho do Urubu training center shortly afterward.

José Boto had said Plata would arrive this Friday

At the presentation of Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas this Friday (04), José Boto said that Plata would arrive that same day. Thus, the new date, learned by Coluna do Fla, delays the forward’s actual return timeline.

What is Dynamo Moscow’s position on Plata’s failed medical?

According to Dynamo Moscow, Plata showed patellar tendon tendinopathy during the exams. However, the Russian club refused to send the results to the Most Beloved, which promised to take legal action.

What happens with Plata after his return to Flamengo?

There is still no forecast for when the forward will play on the field again wearing the Sacred Shirt. That is because Rubro-Negro is treating the matter cautiously, without setting exact deadlines.

When and where is the match between Flamengo and Remo?

The clash between Flamengo and Remo takes place this Sunday (06), starting at 4 pm Brasília time. Therefore, the match is part of the 26th round of the Brasileirão, at Mangueirão Stadium, in Belém, Pará.
