Flamengo transfer latest as Thiago Almada undecided and Evander link denied | OneFootball

Flamengo’s transfer focus sharpened on Tuesday as director of football José Boto returned from Argentina after face-to-face talks over Thiago Almada. On landing back in Brazil in the early hours, he addressed the situation surrounding the Atlético de Madrid midfielder.

The pursuit continues with River Plate showing strong interest in the Argentine. Agent Agustín Jiménez said Almada has yet to decide which offer he will accept.

The transfer window remains open until 11 September. Flamengo are racing to reach a conclusion in talks as they seek reinforcements for the Libertadores round of 16.

The Rio club are not back on the pitch until Sunday.

Speculation around targets has surged and alternatives have been floated in the background. Despite links, there is no interest in Evander of Cincinnati, and figures close to the board regard the rumour as an agent-driven play for visibility.
