Flamengo surprised after Gonzalo Plata fails Dynamo Moscow medical and deal collapses | OneFootball

Flamengo were left surprised on Tuesday as Dynamo Moscow abandoned a deal for Gonzalo Plata after the winger failed his medicals.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Flamengo had already agreed terms with the Russian club and had not flagged any health concerns during in-house work.

Flamengo’s internal medical record for Plata lists no surgeries or ligament injuries since his arrival, heightening the sense of shock.

Plata was also available for Ecuador throughout the World Cup, starting in all of La Tri’s matches.

He said goodbye to team-mates and flew to Russia on Sunday, then was greeted enthusiastically by supporters and the club on arrival.

The agreement was worth about €12 million, roughly R$72 million at current rates, and with talks now over he will return to training this week.

Flamengo had already moved for Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas to bolster the attack, so Leonardo Jardim now has extra options.

The squad prepare to face Mirassol in the Brasileirão on Wednesday at 19:30 Brasília time at the Maracanã.
