What is the deadline for registering players for the Libertadores round of 16?


Flamengo is close to taking the field to face Cruzeiro in the Libertadores round of 16. With the clashes against the Minas Gerais side in mind, this Friday (07) is a crucial day for the Rubro-Negro in its attempt to complete signings.

This deadline is due to Conmebol regulations. Therefore, Flamengo has until 6:00 p.m. (Brasília time) this Friday (07) to register new players for the next stage of the Libertadores. If that does not happen, any player or new signing will only be able to play if Mengo advances further in the competition.

IS FLAMENGO TRYING TO SIGN A PLAYER FOR THE LIBERTADORES ROUND OF 16?

At the moment, Flamengo is working to complete the signing of Luiz Henrique as soon as possible. However, given the way negotiations are progressing, the tendency is that the Rubro-Negro will not be successful in finalizing the deal before the Conmebol player registration deadline.

Before Luiz Henrique, however, Flamengo was also focused on signing Thiago Almada. But after weeks of ‘dragged-out’ negotiations involving the midfielder, the Rubro-Negro did not receive a concrete response. At the moment, the tendency is for the Argentine to sign with River Plate (ARG).

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF FLAMENGO’S NEGOTIATIONS WITH LUIZ HENRIQUE?

Luiz Henrique is a Flamengo target to strengthen the attacking unit. According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, the Rubro-Negro has already received the green light to send an official offer for the Zenit (RUS) forward. So far, however, Mengo has not yet sent the proposal to the Russian club.

Even with the Libertadores deadline running out, Flamengo is not thinking about giving up on bringing in Luiz Henrique. That is because the Rubro-Negro believes the arrival of the forward would raise the team’s technical level for the rest of the season.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT LIBERTADORES MATCH?

After finishing first in Libertadores Group A, Flamengo begins its knockout-stage journey in the competition. The Rubro-Negro’s first match against Cruzeiro will be next Wednesday (12), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mineirão. Finally, the tie will be decided on August 19, at the same time, at Maracanã.
