Flamengo's Plata catches the eye of Dubai's Al-Wasl

Which team became interested in signing Gonzalo Plata?

Gonzalo Plata is going through a period of uncertainty regarding the next step in his career. At the moment, before reporting back to Flamengo after failing Dynamo Moscow’s (RUS) medical exams, the forward has attracted interest from Al Wasl, from Dubai.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Plata was offered to the Dubai club, which became interested in signing the player. However, the club has already made it clear to his representatives that it would only move forward in the talks if it were a loan deal with a mandatory purchase clause based on performance targets.

Even with this interest from Al Wasl, Gonzalo Plata is still a Flamengo asset. On Friday (04), in fact, José Boto said that the Ecuadorian would be returning to Rio de Janeiro, but due to a change of plans, the player did not come back.

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Flamengo is now expecting Plata to arrive in the “Marvelous City” this Sunday (06), returning from Dubai. However, if there is any progress in the negotiations, the tendency is for the player to remain there.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH PLATA AT DYNAMO MOSCOW?

It is important to point out that Plata came very close to becoming a Dynamo Moscow (RUS) player. Last Sunday (30), the forward traveled to Russia to undergo medical tests and sign with the new club. However, at this stage, the team “vetoed” the signing of the player, alleging patellar tendon tendinopathy.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S VERSION OF THE PLATA CASE?

After learning of this situation, Flamengo did not agree with Dynamo Moscow’s diagnosis of Plata. That is because, according to reporting by Coluna do Fla, the Rubro-Negro has all the medical reports showing that the Ecuadorian does not have any kind of clinical or physical injury.

IS PLATA OUT OF FLAMENGO’S NEXT GAME?

Because of all this turmoil, what is known is that Plata will miss Flamengo’s next game of the season. Therefore, coach Leonardo Jardim will not have the Ecuadorian available for the match against Remo in the Brasileirão.

WHAT TIME IS FLAMENGO X REMO IN THE BRASILEIRÃO?
