Manchester United eye move for former Flamengo goalkeeper | OneFootball

Kauã Santos is one of the leading goalkeepers in German football

The transfer market in Europe has been closed since the beginning of August, but Flamengo nearly had another former player in the Premier League. Manchester United (ENG) made a bid for goalkeeper Kauã Santos, but was unsuccessful.

According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, Manchester United made an official offer for Kauã Santos. However, Eintracht Frankfurt refused and demanded about 25 million euros (R$ 156.3 million at the current exchange rate).

Therefore, Manchester United chose to end negotiations for the goalkeeper revealed by Flamengo. In the end, the Premier League club ended up signing Belgian Senne Lammens, who was at Royal Antwerp (BEL).

HOW MUCH WOULD FLAMENGO BE ENTITLED TO?

Kauã Santos was sold by Flamengo to Eintracht Frankfurt in August 2023 for 1.6 million euros (R$ 8.4 million at the time), referring to 70% of the economic rights. Thus, Mengo still holds 30% and can profit from a future sale.

AND FLAMENGO?

The Flamengo, former team of Kauã Santos, remains focused on the next challenges of the season. The Most Beloved takes the field this Sunday (28), to face Corinthians, in São Paulo, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), for the Brazilian Championship.
